The New Harry Potter Book

[Damini]

I think you should buy it from Sainsburys, when it comes out. I hear they are doing some kind of... gift pack... with it. Full of wonder. Rumour has it you get a free book when you order the last Harry Potter book from Sainsburys. A free book I hear you say?? Yes. A free book. IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES. Whatever book could that be? I shan't ruin the surprise. But it is free and GREAT and you should buy the Harry Potter book, even if you don't want to, because of the awesomeness of the freeness.

 

[Chilly]

heh. nice plug

 

[Whipped]

I shall make sure to pass the word on

 

[Mobius]

if it's not Bravo Two Zero i'm going to be fucking livid

 

[Tom]

That is magbloodyificant. What a prize! I shall pass the word on.

 

[Clown]

Welp. I know what my sister is getting for her birthday then.
She can have the free book for Christmas.

 

[Ch3tan]

Lol.

 

[leggy]

I have never read a harry potter book and don't intend to. HOWEVER, I will definitely buy the new one from sainsburys as I reckon all budding, talented authors deserve all the help they can get. Plus it's for Dams and she r0ck0rz.

 

[Damini]

leggy.

Oh, and this morning I got through my Danish copies of The Invisible Friend - Den Usynlige Ven! Which, I'm guessing, is Danish for Invisible Friend.

Until I can be bothered to scan in the finished front cover, you can see the illustration here: Books main page

Kieran spent a good while this morning laughing at the note that says "Spasser".

 

[SilverHood]

It does indeed mean the invisible friend

I might order the Danish version actually, would be an interesting gift for my danish cousins and I can say that I played DAOC with the author!

Btw, "The Danish cover of the American ghost story "The Invisible Friend" "

Sort them out dams

Wouldn't it make more sense just to buy a copy of Damini's book then, and not line J.K. Rowling's pockets in the process

I know where I'll be getting copies of Harry Potter for my niece's and nephews from now though

 

[Draylor]

Meh, a Harry Potter thread where I cant make a 'grow up, you arent 8 years old' reply.

I know. I've obviously been bitten by a radioactive American. I'm transforming

If you are going to tell tales of me and DAoC, make sure you lie through your teeth and pretend I was actually good at it.

 

[haarewin]

thats cool, i was gonna get the book on the way to work from sainsburys anyway

 

[Deebs]

Fantisico!

Can I not just go buy your book somewhere and you get more money from it?

 

[Damini]

Yes, indeed you could

I set up a referal thing through amazon, and have so far made £1.14! In a year I'm saving up for a sandwich from Marks and Sparks. Though if you buy my book anywhere (other than second hand, of course) I get a small amount of royalties. The deal with Sainsburys is more about publicity and the massive compliment of it all than it is about allowing me to shop at Marks and Spencers. It's the first book that they're giving away, so it's a great way to introduce people to the series.

 

[Tom]

Its like a great band supporting the popular band at a series of gigs

 

[Chilly]

Sainsburies are going to shift *loads* of copies of HP and by extension your book - thatl do wonders for circulation and such. Do the freebies count toward sales for the rankings?

 

[Damini]

No, I don't think so. I think it's a seperate entity.

 

[leggy]

Oh, in that case I'll buy an actual copy as well then. I can give the HP book to one of my poncy mates who still thinks it's cool to be seen reading harry potter on the train.

Now that I think about it, the first book was bought on a Virgin Train . Are you still friends with old Branson then?

 

[Damini]

Me and Branson? Oh yeah. He phones me up every now and then, and asks me for advice on stocks and shares. I don't know if my books are still on the trains though. We don't have virgin trains here. We have auld slapper ones that smell of wee.

 

[Chilly]

aldi trains? at least its cheap!

 

[FuzzyLogic]

And they'll run on time too!

If it helps, I've got an M&S discount card

 

[Damini]
