Guest KevinEndon Posted 9 January , 2009 Share Posted 9 January , 2009 I have read the book "In the footsteps of Private Lynch" the follow up to Somme Mud. What I will do is post it to the first person who responds to this thread as long as they promise to send it to the next person and so on. You must fill in your name on the back page to say that you have read it, lets see how many names we get on it. The book is free but if you could make a small donation to the forum that would be great. I will pay the first postage and whoever gets it next pays the postage to the next person and so on. So if you are up for a bit of fun, and have a great read for next to nothing then post your name below. When you recieve the book let the forum know you have it and who it's going to next.

bruce Posted 9 January , 2009 Share Posted 9 January , 2009 Please accept my apologies, Sue I must have missed your post. From wherever the idea originated, it is a good one. I have pm'ed my address to Kim.....and so wait with baited breath its arrival....and i will then mail it on. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanCurragh Posted 9 January , 2009 Share Posted 9 January , 2009 Fair point Sue, but I think this is a little different - lots of us have read (or have plans to read) "Somme Mud", and the companion book "Footsteps" only appears to be available on import for £30 or so. Not available from libraries either. Postage should be minimal as it is only a paperback. Also, probably not a book anyone would particularly need to consult after reading it. Just my tuppenceworth... Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinEndon Posted 9 January , 2009 Share Posted 9 January , 2009 I think its because this book cost £30 from America and not a lot of folk in the U.K. have it yet but have heard how much of a brilliant read it is. Rather than a bookring its just 1 book doing the rounds, a bit of fun, I have photographed it before its posted and hope it comes back with cup rings and dog ears just to show that is has been read by many. Your idea was great Sue but how many folk would post off a hard back or something that they love to read over and over again just incase it came back dog eared.

Sue Light Posted 9 January , 2009 Share Posted 9 January , 2009 but how many folk would post off a hard back or something that they love to read over and over again just in case it came back dog eared. I don't think I ever suggested they should - that came from the respondents, not me. But old news now. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishmen1916 Posted 19 January , 2009 Share Posted 19 January , 2009 Thanks Kevin, Book received today, soon as I read it, it will be passed on to Kim. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 19 January , 2009 Share Posted 19 January , 2009 "Footsteps" only appears to be available on import for £30 or so. Until April that is when it's being released for circa £17 in hard-back (and, probably about a week later, in Tescos for (probably)about a tenner!)

Guest KevinEndon Posted 19 January , 2009 Share Posted 19 January , 2009 Why wait for such a great book, it is a book that was well worth the £30, money well spent if you ask me. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bods Posted 5 February , 2009 Share Posted 5 February , 2009 Fantastic idea, I'd like to join in please. Can't wait, I thought 'Somme Mud' really revealed how brutal the trenches must have been. It made me even more sympathetic to the poor blokes (of all nations) who had to go through that bloody experience. Andy, I think I must be in the queue after you. Perhaps you could PM when you have the book and I shall send my address over? Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Tiger Posted 5 February , 2009 Share Posted 5 February , 2009 David No problem. Will pm you as soon as I have read it Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
