I am firmly entrenched in the 'digital is the future' camp, however I like the tangibility of something you can actually hold. I buy my songs from iTunes; but i collect vinyl records.

I have not written this book to shift millions; I am under no illusion that i am the future Dan Browne or JK.

It hasn't been written so that I can have a cameo role in the Hollywood remake.

I have written it in order that it can sit on a shelf in the British Library, gathering dust and the smell of antique shops in order that one day my son's son's son will find it.

It's my legacy, but to get it on that shelf i need your help...
