    does anyone know how much it be to send them off?
    I've just bought the newspaper and it's £5.99 for the postage. I think I'll send off for mine as it'll probably work out cheaper than the petrol I'd use getting to the nearest store!

  • Has anyone collected the first one yet? Is it a proper book, or just a little paper one?
