Talks by Tom Hodgkinson and Lowering the Standards of Mail Order

05 February 2007

I am giving a series of talks and events this year at various bookshops, festivals and seminars.

Here are the first four:

Friday 9 February, “How To Be Idle”, Faulheit conference, Brunswick University, Germany, 5pm.

Thursday 15 February, “How To Be Free”, Talk and Signing, Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights, Bath, 6.30pm. Tickets £3. www.mrbsemporium.com

Thursday 8 March, “Medieval Values: How Good Living Will Make Us Free”, The Vine Hotel, Skegness, 8pm. Tickets £5 from aewoodbine@aol.com or call 01754 890378

NOTE: The event at Lynton Town Hall is now taking place in April. Check here for more details nearer the time.

And finally, to all those who are still waiting for their free copy of War On Work: we are gradually getting through all the orders, but it is taking some time. Please refrain from abusing us by email for the non-appearance of your book until 28 days has passed from making the original order. We are very slow. Thank you for your patience.
