Ok, deep breath: please, please buy my new (United-related) book

Morning gents - I'm pretty new here, though some of you may know me from fredtissue - so apologies for already asking for something, but hope you don't mind.

I've written this book that's in the shops now, nominally about following United around, away from home only, during the 2009/10 season, though hopefully there's a bit more to it than that - why people love United, why people love football, why people love anything, and why they behave in the way that they do kind of thing. It also looks at why the game's in such an obscene mess, sticking the boot in as viciously as possible into as many of those responsible as possible, and comes with a foreword from the exceedingly generous Michael Crick.

Obviously I would say that it's good, but to avoid any Christine Keeler-style responses, will just say that if you click on any of the links below, you'll be able to see that a few others you may have heard of, whose opinions are more reliable than mine, did too.

Anyway, am posting this with the kind permission of the mods, and as this is a fairly big deal for me - it's my first book, though there's some fiction hopefully not too far behind - I'd be unfeasibly grateful to anyone buying, and equally so for any general word-spreading to other Reds and football fans.

Right, I'll shut up now, and look forward to receiving your derision, though i promise my prose isn't generally as mealy-mouthed as this post. Sale links are below, and thanks all again - apologies in advance for any bttt antics, from which I shall endeavour to refrain.

Ta, appreciated, and of course would be honoured to be your biographer, though should probably state that it's not a me and me mates got pissed here/high there kind of thing, £#%&!ing fascinating though we are.

There are a few stories of things that happened to me, but only if there was a chance they'd be of wider interest.

Why thank you kind sir. Not sure why I've conveyed that in such fey fashion, but is much appreciated.

And one important thing I forgot to mention; it's cheap! Or perhaps I should've said value, so even if you're all happy with your the strength of your respective bookshelves, etc etc.

for that alone I'm going to buy it

BTW, those of us outside of the UK, but in the EU can still use Amazon.co.uk to buy this. They deliver anywhere in the EU

that my olds were discussing how much I liked Albert Tatlock when I was a kid - though I called him Talbert Tatlock - and here we are; small world.

And ta, of course.

If I buy it, how much money do you get?

This has a very strong bearing on whether I buy it or not.

I don't know you and you sure as hell don't know me but I feel this is information that should be revealed.
