May I suggest another title?

Dear DG
The Illustrated A to Z of Obscure London Backwaters sounds absolutely fascinating! Can I preorder a copy? |
Hi DG
There has been some stuff on the web about narrowboating on the Bow Backwaters and of course there's 'London's Canals' - was it by Derek Pratt - that has some less well known and disused bits. |
the 2012 big book of kittens |
how about 'Travails Above Ground - A Miscellany of London's Rail Replacement Bus Services' ? |
Has no-one already ripped off your blog posts and made a print on demand book? I was looking for books on an obscure subject and clearly the top 10 books that came up on Amazon were all collations of Wikipedia articles. |
The other book I thought someone should do is 'all the cafes pubs and restaurants within 50 yards of the North and South circulars in clockwise order'. |
Speaking of the Olympics, LOCOG has just announced that it oversold tickets to the synchronised swimming by 10,000. Oops. Now, after all your ticketing tips, that sounds like a blog post right up your street... |
You can never have too many generic books of a vaguely interesting selection of things to do in London laid out around some sort of theme. Definitely worth a try... |
Tom @ Tired of London isn't going to mention this "interesting selection of things to do in London laid out around some sort of theme", nor has he asked me to, but I feel I should... |
Shouldn't you probably write the DG Oddbits Quiz Annual? |
Thanks DG, very kind of you. |
@ Amber - not London specific, but last I was visiting your green and pleasant land I was drooling over a copy of 'Church cats' - beautiful photos of cats who reside in churches across Britain. Alas weight restrictions were prohibitive....
I'm still wondering what eventually happened to the book that DG *didn't* write ... |
@Antipodean: It came out, written by somebody else. I've seen copies for sale in Waterstones. |
@swirlythingy - oh thanks .. I didn't even realise that the 'cat was out of the bag' re the subject of the book! |
I'd like to have a copy of "A Few Walks Round London You'll Never Follow" - if only to prove you wrong! |
I found this out when I searched on Amazon about a local bus company. "Wow!" I thought, "an article about my local bus company's route, I didn't think it was that popular!" ... until I read the very familar words that I once wrote when I collated the Wikipedia article (and subsequently had to fight off the deletion rounds, as apparently every bus route in London is important but one to Watford isn't! but I digress...)
Do you google phrases from your work DG, to ensure people aren't snapping up your work? Or use unique phrases so when you see them you know you wrote it ;) |
@ Antipodean...not really relevant to DG's post, but the Church Cats book is aveilable on Amazon, so you could have it sent to you |
