2021 Black Friday Book Deal
Black Friday is upon us again, and I would like to offer everyone a free – that is free as you don’t have to pay – digital copy of my book for Kindle!
Between Thursday 25th and Sunday 28th, head over to the Kindle Store – aka Amazon – and sag yourself a free copy to read on your Kindle or other device (Kindle app required). If you don’t want a digital copy, you can also get it in paperback – but sadly I cannot give those away for free.
Enjoy Thanksgiving and the weekend!

The Gentlemen’s Book of Etiquette and Manual of Politeness
Book titles were longer in the past. I suspect this was at least partly down to people having more time. That, and the fact that your book’s title was the first impression the potential reader got, so it better tell the reader what the book was all about.
