I hope H has planted some trees to make up for this waste of wood.

I look forward to hearing that many thousands of copies have been remaindered, and then preferably pulped.

I certainly won’t be buying it, and nor will anyone else I’ve seen recently.

On the news they showed empty book shops....

I personally don't know anyone who has read it or is even tempted to read it.

I am not going to buy it or read it.

I can't imagine who will read it? There are so many amazing things in life we could all be doing, so who is going to choose that???

We may just have had threads …and threads…and threads about this. Anyone got anything new to say about it ??

One cheering fact I heard yesterday. Happy Valley viewing ratings beat the interview ratings hands down on Sunday evening.

We’ve heard most of it on tv and seen it in the papers, don’t need to buy it. Anyway it’s Summer here now, why would you waste your time?

I doubt it's flying off anyone's shelves.
Yesterday; book shops were opening at midnight. Shops in London had queues of 1. Breakfast TV had a reporter and saw 3 customers in 2 hours.

I imagine most people will have ordered the book from Amazon .

Can't wait for the interest die down. I actually dreamt of Harry . More of a nightmare

This one?
Most of the crowds around bookshops seem to be photographers...

It will fly off the shelves in the USA, for sure.
