Ned Williams two latest books are at the printers and I can tell you about them and the exciting plans being made to launch them on Saturday 29th October.
Both books are A4 sized hardbacks. The Cinemas book runs to 312 pages and the Theatres book runs to 208. They are both well-illustrated and have attractive colour covers. They will be available as a limited edition and the first 500 copies of each will be signed and numbered. I am delighted to tell you that Ken Dodd agreed to write a foreword to the theatres book, and Julie Walters has written one for the Cinemas book.
They will both be on sale at £25 each. At the launch they will be available at a special offer of £40 the pair.
We would like you to collect books at one of the launch events because they are large books and the Post Office has advised me that the postage is fairly expensive. (£4.50 for one book, £7.50. for two books.)
The events planned for Saturday 29th October are as follows:
