The Tally's eBay Charity Auction
To help promote the paperback release of The Tally, I’m auctioning off my annotated proof of the book on eBay, with all proceeds of sale being donated directly to the mental health charity, MIND.
A proof is a one-off copy of a book printed prior to publication to give everyone an idea of what the finished product will look like, and to allow for any necessary changes to be made (such as the correcting of any hitherto-unseen typographical errors) before publishing. In some instances, there will be few, if any, differences between a book’s proof and a copy that you would buy in the shops, but this is not the case with The Tally. This one-off edition is thus unique. Please dig deep and have a bid!
