So you wanted a Mint Sauce book…

I’ve just had a message from my mate, saying “It’s here!”, with an attachment.

Git!

Yeah, mine just got delivered. It’s quite the thing !! 🙂

Got back from a run and it was waiting outside, too big for the letter box! It’s a thing of beauty. The colours are superb.

So nearly £5 for the postage and then a bit extra for the packaging and labour… £7 sounds a lot but doesn’t seem excessive when you add up the actual costs.

what makes no sense to me is that’s ordering directly from the publisher.  Searching on google there are already a few options with free delivery – Surely it makes sense for the publisher to take a bit of a hit on postage rather than presumably a bigger hit from people buying it from third parties?

£33 delivered from here – https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/lost-summers-half-forgotten-afternoons-a-mint-sauce-collection-jo-burt/7756704?ean=9781739126766

Just had mine delivered.
Planned to leaf through it then gift it to a mates 12yo daughter, who is called summer.
Changed my mind, I’m keeping it.

I suspect fans aren’t bothering about the cost…I’m certainly not. If it helps support get more of this kind of thing then it is all good (aware there will be profit for people, but I’m not against that). I’m hoping mine has arrived today!

It’s lovely. Just sat and read through the first 20 or so pages with a cup of tea. Looking forward to doing the same with the rest of it.
The sticker sheet reminds do me of back in the 90s when my college folders, bike etc were covered in the ones that came free with MBUK…

Oh it’s wonderful. I’m sitting looking out of the window at a cold grey evening (it’s not even 5.00PM yet FFS) and just loving this pic:

Just been reading through the first few pages. It’s a beaut, for sure.

Mines here too!

and just loving this pic:

Lovely isn’t it?

Aye, very nice…

Still waiting. 🙁

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.
