Just got into the shop today (SPCK Exeter, that is) hoping to find a stack of Dave Walker books for those last minute Christmas gifts only to be greeted by a delivery note telling me that the book is Reprinting! Goodness, i am going to have to see if The Owen (as I like to call them) have any in stock now…

Dave, I’m not sure if you need to get a grip or a gripe, but it does sound as if one of those evil-minded parishioners has escaped from Ruth Gledhill’s article in the Times yesterday! (Or am I pre-empting your next blog?)

Anyway, I couldn’t see there was anything wrong with your request – I don’t have a Wesley Owen near me though. I CAN report that Ely Cathedral does not have a copy – it must have sold it and not replenished…

Dear someone,

I don’t normally publish anonymous comments, but I’ll let this one go.

I merely asked whether anyone had seen the book in Wesley Owen. Quite how that counts as a gripe I don’t know.

you seem to have a grip against Weslwy Owen – the book is in the shops – get a grip there are thousands of books that come in and out of the warehouse every day – your book is just one – if you want to check why don’t you travel around every one of there 40 or so shops and check the shelfs your self

I’m starting a campaign to have Dave Walker’s books removed from SPCK – I’m sure you’re not allowed to laugh if you are truly orthodox.

I’ve spotted it in the bookstore of Southwark Cathedral though I couldn’t see it in Guildford Cathedral
