Well, that's very nice - congratulations to SOTWA (I'm not sure why they put in length of marriage and age of children though - the latter would have been enough).

Legendary... Although the camouflage in the photo isn't very good... I can see him easily!

He's a lot uglier than I expected - but I suppose it helps to scare the enemy...

Put him next to Peter Kay, though and he's a beauty!

A comment from Bruce

Oi - Let me out. And bring me a new suit whilst you're at it.

Our Bruce? Surely not!

and another from Ole.

A book about the mighty Wanderers.

I will look forward to crayoning it in.

Mummy?

perhaps we should add some nice commnets.

That picture makes him look older than his 63yrs

and the BEN are getting really bad at making errors, he is not a day over 60

other than that, brilliant!

Ah, Batman to the rescue with a kind comment in the BEN

If you search the-wanderer.co.uk in google, it comes up with this.

That's pretty mental, I'll get a copy when it comes out.

Should probably take down the threads on here with the whole book in now?

Let's not forget that the real star of the book it the wise cracking, hard drinking, womanising Native American.

God bless his soul.

The person who causes his death is a much more interesting character.

Did a poor job though - didn't he pop up again in the sequel?

Barely recognisable now they've been proofed and Anglicised

But yeah, I'd imagine that'd be a good idea. Hold them in the recycle bin for a couple of months..

I do have to point out that early manuscript drafts of works by outstanding novelists have a value in themselves for researchers. Let us not destroy the first fruits...
