50,000 Our Read books have arrived

Yes, they're here - 50,000 copies of The Unforgotten Coat by Frank Cottrell Boyce, written ESPECIALLY FOR US, for Our Read.

Here's Charlotte pulling them out of the back of a Transit van that her friend Nikki has been driving all day, and onto the pavement outside our office:

It's real now, it's oh so real (how many times do I say that in this video - filmed by 'Director' Jane Davis' on Facebook?! And just look at the muscle being flexed by all the staff here...).

It's only 22 days until Our Read launches now (and phew! the books have arrived in plenty of time), so follow Our Read on Twitter - @our_read - for all the latest on the book and launch events.
