Win a copy of Slump and The Butt

March 27, 2008

Yes, it’s competition time again, to celebrate the publication of Will’s new novel, The Butt.

Will has kindly offered one of his very own copies of his first ever published work, a collection of cartoons he did for the New Statesman, Slump, as first prize (the winner will receive a copy of The Butt too). There were very limited numbers of the paperback book published by Virgin in 1985, and it remains one of the most collectable of Will’s books. Bloomsbury has also kindly offered nine more copies of The Butt as runners-up prizes.   More...
