I too have written a book which is similarly funny, enlightening and occasionally poignant. Possibly. It is not ridiculously cheap though and whilst £2.99 for the Kindle version couldn’t sensibly be described as being anywhere near outrageous, it has occurred to me that if someone with the comedic CV of Adrian Edmondson can sell his book for £0.99 then maybe I’m kidding myself trying to sell my own book at three times the price. I may be more berk than berserker but I’m not that much of a berk.
So that is why own literary masterpiece (literary mantelpiece?) is now available to buy at just £1.99. What? Still more expensive than Adrian Edmondson's book I hear you say? Well, yes. But I have a good excuse for that and it's not my fault because I can only price it at £0.99 if I change the book royalty option from 70% down to 35% and why would I want to do that? And just to complicate matters I have previously made no secret of the fact that my book - the one I'm talking about - is actually an upgraded version of my first book - the one I'm not talking about - which remains available at the now same price of £1.99. Or it did. Because as I want folk to buy the upgraded version, I've had this brilliant wheeze to increase the price on that book to £2.99 because then you'd have to be a real berk to buy the first book instead of the second one .
In the spring of 2022 I walked across northern Spain on the Camino de Santiago with my missus, the indomitable Mrs C. We enjoyed it so much that the following year we walked to Santiago again, although this time from the Portuguese city of Porto, and for good measure we returned to Santiago a few months later to walk from there to Finisterre (once thought to be the end of the earth). And that's what I wrote about. The first book gained a decent amount of traction with some good reviews although the second book hasn't really attracted much attention and is a long way down the Amazon listings. So maybe reducing the price down to the equivalent of only two Adrian Edmondson autobiographies isn't such a dumb move?
More information on both books can be found at A Thirst for Adventure on the Way to Santiago: A Tale of Three Caminos
Adrian Edmondson's autobiography is well worth reading and a Kindle bargain at only £0.99. My book may not be quite the same bargain but if you want to find out more about walking the Camino de Santiago then - trust me - you'll be wasting your money with Adrian's book.
