I get the impression that readers here, while the numbers have dropped from days of yore*, are a fair mix between the US and the UK, with a delicious sprinkling of The Rest Of The World.
So that means that half of you won't know what Red Nose Day is, which means you won't know why Mike and his team took a whole book from conception to publication IN A WEEK.
And here are your answers:
Red Nose Day is a fundraising day in the UK which uses comedy, comedians and members of the public doing silly things to raise money for people living in poverty in Africa and the disadvantaged in communities in the UK.
Which means that Mike et al received submissions, skimmed off the cream, formatted, proofread, created cover art and all of the rest of the work required to take a bunch of words written by the best writers in British blogging and make them into a single piece of literary genius...IN SEVEN DAYS.
Are you impressed?
You should be.
Are you curious?
You should be?
Do you want a copy?
You should buy one.
*Ah, yore, how we miss thee
Bossy knows what Red Nose Day is -- and she's sad that she can't be involved and so is reconsidering the whole Revolutionary War fiasco in the 1700s that separated England from her states to begin with. Bossy wants a word with George Washington.
