This is the best pound I've spent this year.."Is That You Angus" by Fergus O'Connell 
"If you have ever been stuck in a traffic jam on a major road during Friday afternoon and seen motorcycles laden down with tents and sleeping bags. You must have wondered just what those strange looking fellows are up to? This story may well help to explain a little about them and their antics.
The actual journey is richly interspersed with the reminiscences of a life spent in hedonistic worship of all that is fun. It is principally a humorous tale, written in a light hearted style.
The journey begins in Grimsby and ends in Gairloch on the North West Coast of Scotland.
It is a work of some truth and some imagination and no Scotsmen were hurt or insulted during the production of this book. Honest."

Not sure how long this is available, but this ebook - Dining With the Doctor (Dr Who cookbook) is free at the moment. 
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I'd like to ask an e-book related question.
I recently purchased an e-book copy of "Nation", my favourite non-discworld book, from Kobo. I was dismayed to see that the digital copy contained none of the artwork from the book. The drawings gave the paper version a lot of personality, particularly the juxtaposition of the maps at the front and back cover being a subtle, non-verbal way to show one of the books messages.
I've checked Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other e-book sites, but their web previews each seem to indicate the same problem. I realize that all e-stores probably sell products derived from the same master copy, but is anyone aware of a different version? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Thanks Tonyblack, glad to be here.
I've just sent Transworld an e-mail asking whether they know of a version with Paul Kidby's work. Weirdly enough, the web "preview" of the paperback on their website does have the illustrations in them, so they must be sitting on someone's computer over there. I'll let the forum know what the response is.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.
About two weeks back I got an e-mail from someone named Kirstin Armstrong at Random House publishing. She'd asked around about my problem, but as far as she could tell all the ebook versions they were selling had illustrations. She asked if I could look at the publisher listed on my copy.
I opened up my ipad and sure enough it said "Harper Collins". Apparently the American publisher puts out their own digital copy, one that sadly lacks the illustrations.
To fix the problem all I had to do was go to the Kobo store and change my profile location to the U.K. I found, "Nation", purchased it again, and sure enough there were the illustrations!
Hope this helps anyone else who might be having the same problem I was.

I have seen lots of ebooks on ebay with traders advertising that they have resell rights. Does this mean I can just buy their ebook and resell it on ebay with no comebacks? There dosen't appear to be copyrights on these cook ebooks and I;m wondering how some sellers can say that they have resell, does it mean they are the author of the ebook? please advise.

This one's for you Pip. Thing 1 got the first in the Dork Diaries series for Christmas. She's dying to read the second one now, and I thought I could grab it from the library, but was surprised that they didn't have it. I told her she'd have to wait for me to get to the store to pick up a copy. Or, if she was feeling impatient, we could download the e-book to her tablet. She said, "No. I want the book please." Thought of you Pip!
