1) Think of an idea for a book

Kind of reminds me of the bloke who navigated his way around the world in his kitchen.

neris

you dont need to worry about publishers says the caller..... Joe goes very quiet and then a bit defensive

snubbleste

cowboyBuilder

I remember a few years ago he had people on with self published books, jaysus ... one of them was something like "Not all stalkers are bad guys" :O !!

snubbleste

BarryD

Whatever about the possibility of it being grand & easy to 'get it out there' but can you sell them???????

He probably got a puncture on O'Connell St after cycling over a syringe

quarefarmers

So, before the RTE campus was built, it was grassland pepperred with shoyte?
Nothing changed, then.

Atlantic Dawn

Killed, explain so to speak how.

Atlantic Dawn

Did the childs father get anything?

snubbleste

"We're a bit stuck for time" sez Joe @ 14:08

riclad

if you write a good book theres, loads of websites to promote it.
And there,s self published ebooks on amazon .
90 per cent books are not worth reading .
i see no point in promoting new authors on this show .
The good books like the martian ,tend to rise to the top ,
and be found by readers .

Shame shes not a North Sider or she'd tick all of Joe's boxes.

PeterTheEighth

It's gas the way Joe portray himself as the "friend of the downtrodden self publisher when nobody else in the industry will support them". Joe's got a book deal with a publisher just because of who he is, simply so that he and the publisher can cash in on his celebrity. So he is actually the enemy of all of these people.

Atlantic Dawn

Has the internet and eBooks not done away with the need to get a book printed especially with these books that will have tiny print runs.

neris

this is some drivel

SEPT 23 1989

sounds like he is hiding under the stairs

Ah in fairness he supports local business by having it printed abroad. And its not like he shamelessly promotes the bewk on the taxpayers dime.

No, most people who read books still like hard copy, in their hands and on their shelves.

The principal benefit of e-publishing is that it saves trees..

Atlantic Dawn

Is there VAT on books?

SEPT 23 1989

where is Joe's local printer?

somesoldiers

"went astray"....to be filed with "unwell", or "bit of a drinker"

Atlantic Dawn

Someone should have wrote a 50 Shades Of Grey style book set in 1916.

SEPT 23 1989

probably a better read than Duffy's

lawlolawl

So, this is obviously prerecorded because the Duffer is already on his Xmas holliers.
