Thank you so much! For bravely tackling Amazon, you deserve the all-purpose squee icon!

The delivery times for this type of books are completely random. It says four weeks one day, the next it's ten days. Let me know once it arrives, I'm curious how long it will take for them to ship to the UK.

Thanks so much! :-D

I really hope you'll like it. You already know one story, but you haven't seen the illustrations yet, so it will hopefully still be a surprise.

Just to let you know my copy arrived yesterday, so that took just under a fortnight.

It's a handsome wee book, and the illustrations are lovely. I'm a sucker for these sorts of tales and especially enjoyed the final three stories and the wraparound - here's to many more gatherings of the "Young Buck's Club"! (Phew, here ends the vaguest, non-spoilery, review in the world.) Seriously though, congratulations on book #2 :)

Also, on a bit of a weird tangent, thanks for including author's notes - it's always interesting to see where the author gets their ideas from (plus the HMS Dover note made me smile).

Thank you for letting me know, it's very helpful for me to know how long delivery takes. There seems to be no rule, some people received a copy three days after ordering. Very weird! :)

Thanks so much for the feedback, and I'm very happy that you enjoyed the book. I can promise a return of the "Young Buck's Club", I just haven't decided on the way of their return (that's hopefully unspoilerish enough...!)

That's also something I'm interested in, so I thought I'll add a few notes. Stories are inspired by the weirdest (or most normal) things at times. It's a bit like cooking without a recipe, you have all the ingredients, but you never know what's the outcome. :)
