“I have been seeking this book, like J. R. Hartley sought his own. (Some wag actually published the fictional book after the Yellow Pages advert was run!) Anyway, I only recently had the guidance to find WHICH Pertwee it was... Roland, Jon's dad! A hero of movies and media. Books and screenplays and finally... some boys' books. I publish a magazine about catapults and could only vaguely recall the original as a post script article in a book a bit like BB's Brendon Chase. Anyway... Stella & Rose had the bibliophile delight of a first edition and... THEY CALLED ME BACK HAVING LOOKED WITHIN THE BOOK FOR ME!! Yes, I was shouty-happy that after a lifetime of wondering, I suddenly KNEW...and of course, could buy it at a discount in their sale! Absolutely awesome book sellers who listened to my blithering delight and gave me the full kid-glove personal attention job sale rather than making me go use their perfectly good and good-looking website.”
