    I received my first printed copy this morning.

    And if I do say it myself...


    No, no I can't, can I?

    They did a very good job.

    My book just arrived and I've read every single word in it.

    Mike, you are so much better with words than I am but it made my eyes water again! You have done an amazing job of converting everything into a book and the history is especially interesting. I hope things are still looking up for you, and the boys are doing well. xxx

    Hi

    I have managed to get a Kindle version of my book - The Dolls' House - listed on Amazon.

    It would be great if you would buy a copy from Amazon UK here:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Dolls-House-ebook/dp/B00CP8I1II/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1368089689&sr=8-22&keywords=kindle+the+dolls+house

    and review it, and give it whatever stars you feel it deserves. It needs an initial push to get it into the charts for new publications. Kindle readers are available for free download for all PCs, Macs, Android and IOS devices.

    If you can forward this to all your email and Twitter contacts as well (and ask them to do the same) that would make a huge difference! I hope you don't mind me asking. Part of the proceeds will go to Children in Need.

    The printed and PDF versions are still available at

    ttp://!!!!!!/rxlcww

    (Add an H before the ttp)

    Thanks again


    Mike

    It's occurred to me reading the history in your book Mike, that there was a Neville involved... And that cats are inexplicably drawn to some brickwork...

    Coincidence???

    Hello Mike, :hello:

    Your story on DIY SOS introduced me to MSE, for which you have my sincere thanks - this community and Mike's Mob in particular are inspirational examples of the best that the internet age has brought us. :T

    Congratulations on turning your experience into a book. :D

    However - those are hardly MSE prices; for 32 pages? :(

    ..Very much hope to hear that all the proceeds will be going towards helping a worthy charity?
    Unless that's the case, am afraid your book is too expensive to join my library. :o

    Now available on Kindle for £2.05:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Dolls-House-ebook/dp/B00CPS3BZ6/ref=la_B00CPZ8F32_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368272459&sr=1-1

    and as a light weight paper printed version
    http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/4298993-the-dolls-house-lightweight-paper

    iBook version coming soon. I am making a monthly donation to BBC Children in Need based on sales.

    So form a queue and try not to crash the websites!
