More Wiffle sightings are rolling in, including this from our intrepid correspondant Allen, lurking in the Guildford branch of Waterstones with a mobile phone camera in his hand. Thanks, Allen!
As you can see, I’m on a higher shelf of the display than William Shatner, and his book has been discounted more heavily than mine. Mind you, he got to pilot the Starship Enterprise and snog Nichelle Nichols, so he probably wins a narrow victory on points.
Keep your Wiffle sightings coming in, and there’ll be a special prize for the first person who can snap one in a charity shop display.
I finished it this evening and it really is ace. Too many laugh out loud moments to mention but “It has not a number, it’s a free jam!” and the dad’s description of Avon off Blake’s 7 are especially memorable. I even enjoyed the Star Trek chapter despite never having seen more than five minutes of Star Trek in my life so that is a real achievement!The book is populated by characters I feel I’ve come to know thanks to the way Bob writes. One of the best things I have read all year!
