Hi Guys, I have written a book of prank letters to football clubs which is raising money for the Tartan Army Children's Charity (TACC). The book’s title is 'My Book of Absurd Letters to British Football Clubs by Struan J. Marjoribanks' and the price is only £6.99, with £1 going to charity (this is the profit on the book given high printing costs, design costs, Paypal cuts etc). There are 24 chains of letters involving clubs across Britain including Hearts, Celtic, Stenhousemuir, Livingston, Morton, Dumbarton, Ayr Utd, Elgin City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, West Ham, Peterborough, Bradford City, Preston North End, York City, Lincoln City, Doncaster Rovers, Exeter City etc. There are also a number of bizarre features involving the Scottish clubs in the 1986 Panini sticker album (remember we only got half size stickers?)... The book is available here: http://eatthebreed.bigcartel.com You can see excerpts from the book here: http://frasersyme.wordpress.com/2014/06/05/excerpts-from-the-book/ Here is the feature for the book on TACC's website: http://www.tartanarmychildrenscharity.org.uk/main/the-news/headline-news/442-my-book-of-absurd-letters-to-british-football-clubs.html I'm very keen for my book to give people a laugh, but also for it to raise some money for this fantastic charity. If you were able to help me achieve that I would be extremely grateful. Thanks very much! Cheers Fraser
