    The Times has a free mr men book inside, there are 5 different ones today and you can see what they are through the wrapping.

    Haven't checked for coupons yet, but will post back later.

    edit - still not looked through, but re. the books not sure what the rrp on them is but it's bound to be more than the paper costs, so worth it even if you won't read it. I've gotten them all this morning for my baby.

    and edit again - and if you have a friendly newsagent who might give you the supplement section from the unsold papers tomorrow for nothing thats even better.

    Can't see any coupons in the Mail (Midlands)
  • The Scottish Mail (70p) has got a free paperback inside. It's 54 pages and is called "Nothing Bad Ever Happens in Tiffany's" by Marian Keyes.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    Hi, I think I read in the last Sunday Times that these books will be exclusive - the stories are new/different, not available in the shops (?) - is that right?

    I can confirm tha they are new and it says specially produced for the Times- Mine is called Mr Happy finds a hobby.
    There is also Mr Strong and the Flood, Mr Small -a big day out etc- there seem to be 10.
    But don't worry fans. Although writted by Adam Hargreaves rather than Roger, they follow a familiar pattern. In this case Mr Happy meets Mr Grumble who is fed up with his hobby, fishing. Together they meet three other Mr/miss people who have different hobbies, but none are any good. Then in a twist at the end... No, I'll let you read it yourself.;)
