John Wardley New Book

[GooseOnTheLoose]

His website has been updated to state that the book will be released this April!

I love how he can't get the rights cleared to use any of the logos, or associated branding, and has to make do with a lookalike font.

It's also a pretty rubbish lookalike font.

You know when you see that font you're about to read a devastating Year 6 Halloween poem

Baffled how whoever did the cover was able to cut out the track so cleanly but has absolutely zero graphic design skills otherwise

I found the first book excellent bedtime reading...put me to sleep very quickly.

I read the original (alongside Tales from the Towers) a lot when I was young - it was a great resource as a diehard fan and a nice comforting escape when times got tough.

Do we know much about what the new book will cover, aside from Nemesis Reborn? Whatever it's about, I'm looking forward to reading it.

 

[Matt.GC]

I'm hoping for something along the lines of a story about him and Keith Sparks getting coked up at an orgy then throwing the telly out of the hotel window when things got out of hand.

I imagine it will probably cover John’s exploits with Merlin following The Smiler, such as Wicker Man, The Curse at Alton Manor and Nemesis Reborn.

There may well be some other surprises in there too, for all we know!

I’ve heard that Wardley reveals that he was the original mastermind behind the Glasgow Wonka Experience!

Jokes apart really looking forward to reading this. His last book offered a really great insight into both the coasters he’s known for and his background in theatre as well. I hope that Towers sell this one as well as I can’t imagine with self publishing the book that he makes that much profit on sales.

Off topic but there is something quite twee about those old 90s style websites that are still kept being updated!

 

[Tom]

Weird that it's not listed anywhere for pre-sale etc.

The book is available to order now on Amazon:

Interesting to see that it is targeted to ten to eighteen year olds!
Out of my range then.

Hope it releases with a kindle version

Hope it releases with a kindle version

I want a deluxe hardback edition where instead of the book having a dust jacket it comes with a miniature brown leather Wardley jacket that slips over it.

 

[Thameslink Rail]

Hope it releases with a kindle version

It is now on Kindle for £9.99

I have a paperback copy arriving tomorrow afternoon (thanks Mum) and I will give my review once I've read it.

 

[rctneil]

I just hope this new book gets sold in the Alton shops.

I heard there is a bidding war between the Folio Society and Illumicrate to publish a special edition.

 

[Bowser]

My book arrived!

Shame it's all low quality black and white photocopies again but nonetheless very much looking forward to it.

The first one was one of the dullest autobiographies I’ve ever read. Going to have to hold out on some reviews before I spend any coin on this one I’m afraid..
