DaveH Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Mine's ordered - personal message : "From Bignose, To Bignose" - should raise a smile with whoever print's 'em. Thanks Dunsby. It's OK putting a personal message in your own personal copy of this book But wouldn't it be great if we could put a general message in every single copy of the book that said something like, - "If you have enjoyed this Star Retro book and would like more of this sort of thing then go to www.shefieldhistory.co.uk" You never know, they may just let us do that, - but charge us an absolute fortune for the priveledge. Or could we do a "reciprocal deal" where they put an advert for SheffieldHistory in their book and we put a banner ad for The Star on the forum with a link to The Star's website?

DaveH Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I get my copy free because I do "Where Thi Ells That" in the Retro If you are doing "where thi ells that" (or, more correctly, "weer di ell's dat") for the Star Retro you could be making lots of useful contributions to our "mystery location" topic on here. I don't know how these things work but you may be able to use some Retro "Where The Hell Is That" stuff in our "Mystery Location" and vice versa. You know, we do a bit for Retro, they do a bit for us. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neeaw, - its a reyt lad offert aarberthooern (Well, me really) Upload it as a normal post and add the picture of the mystery location to your post using the add atachments option. It will let you add .jpg .bmp .png and .gif files but the file size is causing some problems at present as to what will and wont upload so i would wait until we get that bit sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunsbyowl1867 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Got a missed phone call on my mobile today saying your book is ready to collect - excellent news - it would cost more in petrol to do that than the book did for me - what about you Richard? :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them to post it to you. The p&p charges will be less than your petrol cost. Richard could always get Stuart to collect his, then scan it and email it to him a page at a time, working at a page a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats great because when you tell people about your dedication you can tell them anything as to what Bignol means, its different and its a one off.

DaveH Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Just bought a copy £9.99 looks an excellent book to add to all the other books I seem to have. Thinking of buying one next weekend, noticed they have it in The Star shop on York Street so can nip in there while I am in town. Nice one though Stuart, - £9.99 No one else has mentioned the actual price so thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
