Oh, what a wonderful day!
« on: January 14, 2009, 06:42:10 PM »
After starting my collection about ten years ago, I just bought Beau Peep book #2 and now have the whole collection!

I promised to leave all my Beau Peep books to my oldest son a few years ago when he had me at the top of a Ferris wheel on the agreement that he would stop swinging the seat back and forth; he is going to be very happy too.

Yey for me!  ;D

Hi Diane, it's a great feeling when you finally obtain what you have been waiting for!

I waited (almost) thirty years for the second part of a story I read when I was little. I wasn't disappointed with the outcome either!

Yay for you too!
 ;D ;D ;D

You can't leave it there, Tom! What was the story?

Have you got "Beau Peep and the Temple of the Golden Ark"?

Nige, when I click on this, all I get to see is the cover (I've tried on that OTHER site, as well). However, I would like to say that it's the funniest book cover I've ever seen and I highly recommend purchasing this side-splitting collection. If I work out how to do it, I'll buy one. Honest.

There should be a little arrow above the book cover - probably 2 - a forward arrow, and a back arrow.

You can magnify/reduce by using the + or - signs.

If it works out efficiently, it could be a publishing possibility for future Beau Peep books...?

Okay, I tried to buy a copy but, when I tried to put in my address, it insisted that I lived in an American state and refused to let me enter "Fife". I therefore give up.

Don't know why that should have happened, Roger. I'll send you one.

If it becomes a problem, I may think about stocking up myself, and fulfilling orders from my own stock.

It'll be on Amazon shortly, once I've given the okay.

The preview was a little slow to load, so I reckon Roger may have run out of patience. I do hope Mince doesn't read page two - you'll never live it down. Still, it didn't put me off, and I've ordered my copy. But then you know that, Peepsie, because you emailed me a thank you note just seconds after you got my money. Quick work!

Don't stay up too late printing it - I can wait.
I apologise, in advance.

Oh, and  congratulations, Diane, especially to your son for his skilful extortion. I have Book 14...somewhere...I think...

Thank goodness it worked for you, Tarks! Yes, the previews do take a while to load.

The thank-you note is automated. I wrote it in advance. It's all down to Lulu!

(Are you referring to "easily"... I just noticed...  :( ).

I feel so cheated! I never suspected for a second. Although now you mention it, it didn't sign off with your usual "Up yours, The Peepmeister".


(Are you referring to "easily"... I just noticed...  :( ).

That'll be the one. Glad I spotted it before you started printing my copy.

I apologise, in advance.
