Delete This at Your Peril
Birlinn’s biggest Christmas seller was… Delete This at Your Peril: The Bob Servant Emails by Neil Forsyth
Extracts in the Guardian newspaper, dramatised readings with Brian Cox on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 4 and coverage across the UK and Ireland guaranteed big sales for this gem of a book. Amazon shipped them out in huge quantities in the run up to Christmas and the leading independent bookshops were not far behind. And there is more to come from Bob Servant. Later this Spring he will be on BBC Radio 4 in a full series of radio readings. Full details to follow!
And Delete This At Your Peril will be one of the first in a new series of ebooks from Birlinn in the Spring.
