Aye, very nice...
Mine is here, it's great 🙂
It's arrived, been accused of buying things that could be got for Christmas and it's been confiscated before opening to be gifted to me in 6 weeks.

I think you may be in need of an intervention. 😉
My copy is a gift for the house. I have to be strong so after a quick look it's all sealed up with parcel tape again. Ditto the copy of Mountain Style which as a hardback is well nice TBH.
Following on from the delivery issues I had with that book I'm expecting another few copies of "Mint Sauce" over the next few days.
The picture with summer actually makes me sad that it's so far away but happy that soon she'll be coming back.
Any idea when it might be discounted? Maybe January sales ? I want one but the price is rather spicy for me.
Awesome! Purchased as a Christmas gift for my son, but I will be having a full peruse before it gets wrapped up!
PSA - Currently £29.75 with free postage from the Guardian bookshop (code GUARDIAN15).
I’d guess the signed copies are taking their time as he’s got a few to do?!
That Guardian link was great thanks. Ordered (it's on back order). Looking forward to it arriving.
Looks fab.
Just paid local customs and handling fees, about 10€ in addition to £40 book and £16 shipping. Delivery date not yet confirmed.
My copy is still Pending Fulfilment as well.
Hope it get's here for Christmas
Yeah mines still pending too. A bit p'd off tbh considering it's now less than £28 on Amazon...
I'm sure I saw an instagram post suggesting the signing was done so hopefully now out of the hands of Jo 'procrastinator' Burt and on their way. Mid November delivery looking a touch shaky but am I surprised? Nope.
Said they were signed 7d ago:
My order is confirmed but no shipping email.
The Amazon cheapness is a derailleur-in-the-spokes.
Got my signed copy yesterday, still no email to say it was coming that day
Response from Isola Press on Instagram re: signed copies "the majority were picked up by Royal Mail at the end of last week so should be close!"
Guess I’m in the minority then!
I ordered direct and it landed today. Handed straight to my wife so it can be gifted to me by a child. She confessed that she'd also ordered me a copy so we'll have two in due course.
Arrived today. Looks 100% worth the wait on first 30 second flip-through. 🙂
I ordered a signed copy direct ... no sign of mine yet either ... guessing it will land eventually ... hopefully in time for that gifting thing coming up ?
Postie rang the doorbell earlier…
Not got mine yet. Hopefully soon
I'm still waiting on mine (I'm in no rush just a bit concerned its gone missing).
For those that have received their (signed) copies who was the courier? RM?
Yeah, think so. 🙂
Got my signed copy with stickers today, delivered by regular RM postie.
Signed copy just arrived via RM.

It was an actual postie, pushing a cart full of mail.
I’ve been reading through it carefully, both Jo’s main text, and especially the art, because there’s all the tiny little notes written in and around the frames, and the song lyrics along the top of each page. I’ve recognised a couple, but I can’t remember the name of the song!
I’ve got as far as ‘The death of Mint’ page, which I remember very well! I do actually have a ‘Death of Mint’ tee shirt, I’ll have to look it out and wear it again. For those not familiar with the shirt design, it’s the centre strip where Mint get hit with the crossbow quarrels; ‘thwip, thwip…’
Ta, and indeed da!
Design is repeated on the back, and I’m wearing it to the pub tonight. [img]

Just had email notification of despatch, about 24 hours after delivery. 🙂
I don't care - it's wonderful. Wonderful! 🙂
The critical error crap is taking the piss now!
I was confused, thinking it was a photo of the front and back 😉
Just don't refresh the page if you get the error and you won't get a double post. Go to the task bar and hit enter/go instead of refreshing. Or if you do refresh, say no to the the "resend information..." thingy that pops up.
Edit: lolz, I got it when posting this. I suspect the error is to do with the redirect to the recent post after posting, because the post always works and the url shown in the bar is to the plain thread (no page or post number). That may be rubbish though, and is pretty irrelevant anyway... what was my point again?
TL;DR: If you get the error, a quick ctrl+L and hit enter will sort you quickest if on Windows, or 2 taps on your phone.
Got a despatch email today.
Hopefully arrive soon
I do actually have a ‘Death of Mint’ tee shirt
Well that just gave me a warm wash of nostalgia. I'll have to look for mine later; virtually lived in that t in the mid-90s.
Mine arrived yesterday. I’ve just ordered another book to actually read, the other (signed) going to keep nice on the bookshelf… just gently flicking through it was somewhat emotional ?
Ours arrived yesterday - Christmas present, so not opened it yet. Postie dumped it on the doorstep and foxtrot oscared which I was a bit disappointed with - came back from a nightride to find it there waiting for me. Fortunately wasn't raining...
Love that t shirt! I've still got this one at the bottom of a drawer:

Although looking at that asking price, maybe i should cash in...
