Description

Actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal is a solo-living, daily-Deliverooing, Uber-to-everywhereing, screen-addicted, community-contact-avoidant hermit of a man. He frequently gets told he doesn't live in the real world. So he's going to start trying.
The challenge
Get around the world without paying for travel
The rules
1. Anyone who helps him on a leg of his journey will be repaid with a favour considered by both parties to be of equal value.
2. All favours must be completed before the trip's end.
3. 80 favours must be completed.
4. No plane journeys longer than 7 hours.
5. No repeat favours.
6. In the event of a kidnap the challenge shall be considered null and void.
7. No sexual favours. Why is everyone asking about sexual favours?

Will Tom find a community? Will Tom find a purpose? Or indeed, will Tom die? Pre-order this book to find out (potentially posthumously ghost-written). Spoiler alert! Tom didn't die, but he did...
...Life model in Fife
Referee a football match in Sydney
Made a music video in New Zealand
Organise a British themed birthday party in Kansas
Assembled a keyboard in New York
Was a dancing bear on stage for a punk band in Leeds..
and experienced some tummy trouble in a number of locations.

Will definitely use again!

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
