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.

I'm sure the families in Heidelberg were glad of it.

Atlantic Dawn

He lost a million euros? How did he get the million to lose? Surely he won some at some stage?

cowboyBuilder

cowboyBuilder

Has Joe read all these bukes from these authors?

Atlantic Dawn

Ha ha, is he off his head so to speak?

Atlantic Dawn

signostic

'The Singing Gambler' title for my next book

Dan Jaman

The Irish Print Awards?
That would preclude those who got their bukes printed abroad, wouldn't it?

Rock Lesnar

Beautiful and Incredible getting a lot of use today, i think the authors would prefer their books to be descibed as making loads of dosh so to speak

If I was at home I'd be playing the Liveline drinking game. Everytime incredible is used, I'd take a drink. At this stage in the program I'd be well on and enjoying the show more than I am now.

Is there VAT on books?

Yes, but print books mostly rated at 0%, thanks to CJ Haughey???? I could be wrong there but that rate came in about his time.

Buy the same book digitally and it's rated at 23%

Don't ask - VAT is simple in theory but very illogical in practice.

I wonder where it would be without all the plugging.

Dan Jaman

600 pages self-published? Nobody's got a table leg that short.

syklops

Speaking as someone who left, I'd rather a cut of the proceeds, to a photo.

BarryD

Shocking Joe says that all those people had to leave - I wonder do their numbers include people who worked in the print industry in this country? The printers that have closed. Whose companies would like the support of Irish customers?

neris

The wAy duffy goes on about immigration youd think it was the 1840s where people would never see each other again. Id say hes the three chislers living in fear of being kicked out of the family if they ever emigrate

syklops

Sounds like Peig: The Return.

Dan Jaman

She sounds well, for a ton.

SEPT 23 1989

miserable aul buke

signostic

Maura Godfrey...heading for 101 years young...she sounds much younger..fair play to her..

Rock Lesnar

Fair play to her

cowboyBuilder

He was on last week about his book being a Nr. 1 bestseller. Being the Nr. 1 non-fiction hardback bestselling book is not what I was expecting. Economical with the truth is Mr. Duffy.

Being selective about sales outlets and ratings is nothing new, though. He could legitimately claim it was the No 1 bestseller out the back door of Duffy Towers.
