Reviews

Praise for the feel-good novel of 2017, Calling Major Tom:
A book about loneliness, about bravery, about the walls we all put up to protect ourselves and about how it is never ever too late to try to change.

* Katie Marsh, author of MY EVERYTHING *
A gorgeously quirky story about families, forgiveness and unexpected friendships - sheer joy. * Lucy Diamond, author of THE SECRETS OF HAPPINESS *
...a pure pleasure to read, full of well-observed characters and hope, and a much-needed antidote for these worrying times. * Julie Cohen, author of TOGETHER *
CALLING MAJOR TOM is blooming marvellous! Original, moving and mercilessly funny, this is an unashamedly feel-good story. I laughed, I cried and I cheered for the wonderful characters. Don't hesitate - fall in love with this book! * Miranda Dickinson, author of SEARCHING FOR A SILVER LINING *
Brilliant, funny, heartwarming and exactly what everyone needs right now. I loved it. * Rachael Lucas, author of Wildflower Bay *
A funny, moving, absorbing hot chocolate of a story - hot chocolate with chilli, that is, because there were bits were I laughed aloud! The pages just turned themselves - I can't wait for the next David Barnett. * Daniela Sacerdoti, author of CALLING YOU HOME *
A bitter-sweet, original blend of social realism and sci-fi; funny, engaging and honest. * Stuart Maconie *
A book about being alone and being together, being lost and being found. One man against infinity: what are the chances? Good, as it happens. I loved this book. One huge step for a man, no longer lost in space. * David Quantick *
funny, moving, sweetly life-affirming tale * SUNDAY EXPRESS *
Utterly irresistible * SUNDAY MIRROR *
Must read * Daily Express *

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.
