To distract you from the terrible post below here’s the signed off, final cover of the book which should be in the shops in about two or three weeks time.
Click for big. Extract to follow in the next week or so.

Cheers to Sean for the funky image plug-in and tips.
Two or three weeks?!?!? God damn it!
But really, looking forward to the release. I need a good laugh.
Great – looking forward to it. “The Brendan Behan of the internet generation,”!
the long wait is almost over. must be chuffed with the sunday times calling you crude.
when was it reviewed in the sunday times?
or do publishers have access to reviews before they actually exist? (eerie music)
No comment from the Sindo then??
Looks like a Tom Sharpe cover.
What is the best way for those of us in the new world to get a copy ?
I suppose Amazon would be the best bet…
writin’ books – puff
No comment from the Sindo then??
Funny that…
Twenty,
Will it be available in the States? I agree with Park drive, deffo Tom Sharpe influence….
amazon people.
But if you live in Canada your probably Fucked.
Not for sale in Canada seems to be printed on all my books…
Just in case you think there arent enough people wasting your tax money, some Gee-bag (with name as Gaelige) has gone to the high court to get health warnings on cigarette products ‘as gealige’ as well as in english. Glad to hear that our courts time arent being wasted or anything. If you want to annoy yourself more here’s the link
Madness
Twenty,
Will it be available in the States?
Not in the shops but through Amazon I’m sure it will be.
Or if you wait a few days there should be loads of them on eBay.
RE The Book
Looking forward to the full review by Ruth Dudley Edwards in the Sindo…
Are you gonna update the blag with the new cartoony Twenty?
The talking Egg-heads in the Meeja have all been telling us not to be buying the drugs lately cause its like putting money into the pockets of the crime-gangs, but would the same not arguably go for buying an amy winehouse album on itunes? Please let me know, I’m feeling guilty…
When will be able to get ones, you know, slightly soiled? I believe ‘hurt’ is the term used in the book trade. Honest.
I pre-ordered mine when you first announced the cover from amazon UK. It will cost more to ship to me in Canada but then I don’t have to wait as long.
How fab that your name is above the title, Twenty.
Much better than somebody else’s, Medbh
is this the first book to be published under a web handle-name type thing??
Brilliant news Twenty what’s the ISBN ?
Love it, LOVE it, LOVE IT…It captures perfectly the pint ridden, cigarette infested den of perfect clarity that is Ron’s.
Terribly excited to read it.
On another subject…The bloggies
# ISBN-10: 0340952873
# ISBN-13: 978-0340952870
is this the first book to be published under a web handle-name type thing??
In Ireland, yes.
Are you bringing home made cakes to the awards, l’sapling?
Ok, I just pre-ordered it from amazon.co.uk. 5.59 pound + 6.98pound by air mail.(Info for my fellow yanks.) Don’t even think about priority express. 22 ? pound.
What happens at the end so that I don’t actually have to read it?
Fair play – it’s a testament to both hard work and time wasting… you’ve covered all angles..
They all live/die/explode/sensually disrobe happily every after.
I can…Have you a preference?
Sound.
Will it be made into a film that I can watch for free on the internet?
It loves brilliant. Congratulations.
Just pre-ordered a copy myself. Like 10 Park Drive said above, total with shipping in US dollars is around $19.
2 for one = more like 24 Eddie.
Are there any dragons in it?
Brendan Behan, Twenty Major. You will travel on a long road to get your name in the same sentence as Brendan Behan and for that much I top my hat etc.I don’t think it is possible to compare writers from different time periods but if somebody needs to do it then let them do it. As a writer, Twenty Major, you deserve applause. That much I know.
tremendous stuff……
Let me get this straight. We ARE actually judging a book by it’s cover.
I’d say mostly blue.
Hang on…
Yeah, blue.
You know what I hate about this? you’ve given hope to millions of gimpy, braindead, bloggers, who all think they too can get a book deal now.
Shame on you!!
Seeing as you’re gonna be rich and famous now, surely you can send us dedicated fans a free copy!! Mates rates at least!!
Most excellent. Are you up for an interview?
Sure thing. Drop me an email.
The Sunday Times calls you “Crude” – have you spoken to your lawyers?
Yes, they said that’s about the best I can expect.
Sue your lawyers as well!
(I’ll bet the bastards have been nobbled by Bertie and his incubus, Damien Rice )
Have you found that your typing speed has increased dramatically since writing the book?
I bet it’s fucking shite.
Blurb on the back reads good, I’ll be buying this I have to admit.
But that doens’t make you any less of a prick, obviously.
Bt, I can read the cover. everytime I click it, it becomes a sliding window of itself but I cant zoom or do any shit
Do somehting about it you douchebag
After reading the back cover I WANT IT NOW!
Bt, I can read the cover. everytime I click it, it becomes a sliding window of itself but I cant zoom or do any shit
If you can read the cover then what’s your problem, you thundering geebag.
I wonder who NewsTalk will get to review it?
Looking forward to John Waters Review…Oh might suggest this to my book club…should make for interesting debate
Will it be available in England? Or am I going to have to amazon/online it?
Damn it looks SOOOO fricking good! :D
I think it’ll be in some shops in England all right…
Now this sucks!
Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we
need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:
“The Order of the Phoenix Park” [Paperback]
Estimated arrival date: 15/04/08 – 22/04/08
Hang on, that’s not right. It’ll be the 15-22 of Feb, NOT April.
Could it be because I’m on the other side of the Atlantic? I’ll try contacting customer service and see what they say.
No, it’s just a mistake. You’ll have it this month for sure.
