back in stock!

Your fourth print run of A Marvellous Party, the printers told us when we placed our order with them, will be delivered on Friday 5th August. We’re very happy to say they were as good as their word, and a courier – one of the world’s cheery, upbeat couriers – was banging on the door of Ignite Villas at 7.15 this morning, with a pallet of books behind him.

It’s not every day we find ourselves lugging hundreds of books in off the street before we’ve wiped the sleep from our eyes or had our oh-so-very-necessary morning coffee, but the sun was shining, the world was fresh and clean, and this new print run of Ian Elmslie’s memoir is every bit as beautifully produced as the ones which preceded it. As starts to the day go, this one was a belter.

We’re off the post office in a few minutes to send out the backlog of orders (thank you for your patience, folks!) as well as those orders which have come in today since we announced A Marvellous Party was back in stock. Happy reading to you all! Now, it surely has to be time for that coffee, doesn’t it?
