This morning early, rainbows were chasing each other across our kitchen floor.
The sun was well up by the time I discovered this. I’d been in bed reading one of my favourite books.
I have only a very few books left – less than twenty, apart from the ones I wrote myself and ones like the Bible and the hymn book, the Book of Common Prayer and the books of Steve Erspamer’s art I use for the church admin documents. So this book is one of a treasured few.
I do believe it was remaindered. I remember quantities coming up cheap on Amazon one time.
But if you ever have the chance to get your hands on a copy – don’t let the opportunity go by. It’s wise, it’s funny, it’s clever, it’s profound, it’s enchanting and delightful.
David Whiteland’s Book of Pages.
He was also responsible for the hilarious Fudebakudo (the Way of the Exploding Pen).
Right now I see on Amazon UK they have some second-hand copies of Book of Pages starting at 1p. Don’t miss this, friends. It’s such a wonderful book.

Oh, this was a folding display unit. I got it for the book stand for the launch of The Hardest Thing To Do. We had fun that evening, but I wouldn't be repeating the exercise.
