Finding Lonely in the UK

A very witty reader of this blog noted the 1 – 3 week wait time for Lonely on Amazon UK, and asked if my NY publisher was taping the books to the backs of seals, and sending them across the ocean that way.

I don’t think seals are involved (that would raise tricky animal welfare issues), but it is true that the books have to travel from the States. That being said, three weeks is the outside time limit: in my experience, people receive the books much more quickly than that.

    We certainly do! I received my book in a shorter time scale than that…am yet to read it (sadly not due to my hectic social life – surprise surprise – but a heavy work schedule). From all I have read in reviews and interviews it’s going to be great. This site has been a great find too – nice to know others feel as I do…and that hopefully it gets better too.

    Aforesaid wit has been using your excellent book as one of the sources for his MA Psychotherapy dissertation on loneliness. Got it relatively quick: two weeks or so. I’m sure thought that things must have improved recently what with all the good press you’ve been getting here too.

    I did a Lonely-inspired cartoon recently. Not sure if you saw it: http://www.prozacville.co.uk/2010/04/im-so-happy-cause-today-i-found-my.html
