GOOD NEWS!
Thursday, 8 January 2015
Dear friends,
I thought you'd like to know that while there might not have been much rustling from the Shed of late, I have been busy campaigning on Second-Hand Stories' behalf. And it has worked: thanks to some exceedingly generous donations, combined with all of your donations, Second-Hand Stories will be fully-funded within weeks. This means that we can start preparing the book for publication.
So I'd like to say thank you now to all of you, because every single donation has filled me with joy, knowing that you believe in my book like I believed in it over the seven years it took me to write it. You have pledged, supported and encouraged it, and it means the world to me. I hope, when you receive Second-Hand Stories, that you'll feel it was worth it.
With deepest gratitude,
Josh.

Hi Josh
Delighted to hear that all is going well. I am really looking forward to reading your book I love the idea as I have often wondered about previous owners of books I have acquired. I remember those wonderful old fashioned second-hand bookshops we used to have in Dublin and spent hours whiling away my time often when I should have been at lectures !!!
Good luck to you Josh and just to let you know that I have been doing my bit by telling other readers in my local bookshop about Unbound and in particular about your book concept so maybe you will get more pledges.....I do hope so

@Amro: Thank you kindly. There may well be a little more silence as we now get the book to press!
@Una: Thank you too for your nice words and support by telling others about Second-Hand Stories. I'm glad you're a fellow bookshop-dweller too - I can never spend long enough in them.
