Sell out.
(this is a joke, obviously) |
Excellent, glad you made the exception. Looks far more like the book I'd like to read about the subject than the one already published. |
Thanks DG.
A worthwhile reason to (very) temporarily lift the PR embargo. I presume that now in the words of the short guy in Mad Max beyond thunderdome it's "Embargo on". again! :o) CF |
I have the first book and now I shall head out to purchase the second.
I really must carry on with my researches (on the ground- the info is probably already online somewhere) for the source and path of two culverted and mislaid streams in Dagenham. D. |
This sounds like the sort of book that may interest me, as I do have a slightly odd interest in most things that happen to be underground in London.
In fact, because of your review, I'm now seriously considering picking up a copy of this book myself, even if it does cost the best part of £15. By the way, I've also written reviews of the books that I read over the summer (and, no, I haven't received any payment to write them either, as like you I don't believe in selling out). You can read them on my blog. |
Cheers for making the exception that proves the rule. That's husband's Xmas gift sorted. Any chance of you contributing to a second volume for these publishers? |
Thanks for such a informed review, and sorry for putting you off with press release. If it's any consolation, my publisher is a authentic one-man operation and my press machine is a friend helping me in her spare time.
I'm delighted you like the book. As someone who's walked all the lost rivers there are to walk, I very much value your opinions. |
Excellent review of what looks like and excellent - I've just ordered a copy! (I see also from the publisher's website that every copy they sell direct is signed by the author. I hope Tom has plenty of ink in his pen...) |
Does it show that I've got a filthy mind because I immediately spotted the double entendre in the last comment. |
"we're neither of us fluvial purists"
what a great throwaway line, DG. wonderful :-) |
As a hidden- river walker since reading your Fleet river series way back, I will definitely be buying this but it will have to be good to beat your walks. Once again - I know I have written this before - when, when, when will we see all your marvellous Londn stuff in one book too?

Just spotted that there will be an exhibition of some of the photographs in this book, here - http://www.maggs.com/book_collecting/maggs_journal/savage-and-said/ - from 22nd March - 19th April 2012. |
