Friday Project are very lovely to work with. I used to be a regular on their forum for years. Oprah, R&J, I can only dream of. It will have to be word of mouth and crossing fingers although there is some features stuff happening and local radio thanks to Friday Project getting a PR team on it.
Thank you x lots to urbanites who have read the book. Urban 75 features in 5 chapters and the dedications.
Wookey
Muppet is not a slur
Badger: Really big congratulations love, it's been one hell of a journey. You're like a Weeble, you will not be knocked down. I'm in utter awe.
Stobes: What the fook are you doing back, like some grim wraith in our midst?
Firky: You've been dreadfully misbehaved and ignoble, I expect you to apologise.

Pleasant and unpatronising
That's something you'd know a bit about - comes with the territory of being Mr Offensive, Urban’s uber one-trick attention seeker: *No, not her, shine the spotlight on meeeeee*firky said:
BK- hope it goes well. Hope you need to reach outside your personal experiences for the next work
I'm looking forward to reading this. It arrived a week or so ago from Play. I even felt bad ordering it from there as it was cheaper and I didn't know if you lost out financially. 
Take no notice of Firky. It's no ones business but your own if you want to write a book. It's not like anyone is being forced to buy it.

Badger Kitten said:My book is out on amazon ( cheap) and play.com ( cheaper, under a fiver inc. delivery) and it's in book shops but not supermarkets or WH Smiths. It can be found in Waterstones ( 3 for 2) and Borders ( some promotion not sure how much off) and it has a dedication to urban 75 in it, and quite a bit about the site in it, so I thought I would drop into the book thread and say so, in case any of you are still interested. And I am sorry for the obvious plug and pimpage and spam.
runs away quickly
well done Badger - your story inspires me a lot and i really look forward to reading it!

cesare said:How come you lot ordered it ages ago before this thread
there was mention of it a few weeks back in a thread in community chat I think, when the Guardian did an interview, pre-publication, so a few people might have pre-ordered it, but since then the book has actually been published and is in book shops which was not the case before. The point is though that it is now much CHEAPER and on July deals online, so rather than peopel here pay full price in bookshops, thought I'd flag up the fact that it is currently on a special low rate online. A few people PMd me about it and it is not in supermarkets or WH Smiths.
It's the nearest I can do for an u75 special discount, point people to the under a fiver online option, instead of paying £6.99 in a shop. I do lose out financially but if I could do an u75 special offer I would

You predicted that people would object to an obnoxious wanker?
Truly you have deep insight into mankinds psychological make up. Did you have to study before you came aware that you had this ability to stare deep into a man's soul, or are you just naturally gifted?

Behave yourself, and stop being nasty to Badger Kitten.

What's it's worth?
Mrs Magpie left a big steaming bag of dog shit hanging in my neighbour's tree on Friday, she meant to throw it over into the alleyway at the back of our house but it got stuck, still hanging there.
Seeing as I don't much like these neighbour's as their dog shits in our garden sometimes, I feel it's some sort of karma.

It actually doesn't look too unpleasant, very carroty. I think the squirrel thought it was onto a good thing this morning, thnking it might have been a bag of bird seeds but once he got close up he must have realised it was in fact a bag of shit.

Yay BK - this is the perfect excuse to buy some music which I haven't allowed myself to splurge on in my current state of penury

Your first posts on the bombings on here seem like such a short time ago. You've been through so much in that time (and before from the sounds of it) - it's fantastic you've got through it all in one piece, and congratulations on the book.
I wonder given the subject matter I can get away reading it in official study time (I'm a trainee mental health professional with an interest in PTSD).
