Description
Silly Beggar: the world’s stupidest begging letters
by James Spence
A funny, illustrated colour book to make you laugh out loud.
Takes the art of acquiring the freebie to a whole new level of absurdity. Rejoice as the customer service departments of multinational corporations are fed ridiculous stories to make them part with T-shirts or other logo-bearing freebies. Whether he’s playing the system or just playing games, James Spence demonstrates his comic genius via his uniquely entertaining emails.
‘The author has clearly spent years plaguing companies with his idiotic requests for freebies, could this be where the global meltdown started?’
– Paul Foot, Life President, Guild of Paul Foot Connoisseurs
‘a very amusing illustration of the lengths people will go to earn a buck’
– Nigel Williams, best-selling author, The Wimbledon Poisoner
About the author
James is a dreamer with far too much time on his hands. He lives with his wife Tiff, and cat Angel, in Dunfermline, Scotland where he dreams, schemes and screams in delight when he receives yet another brand new T-shirt through the post. He is the creator of Dr Sheep and the Aardvark, unquestionably one of Scotland’s most popular on-line comic strips, enjoyed by thousands of comic fans around the world. One of his poems was recently published by Google in their book Search Me by Neil Taylor. They also sent him 2 T-shirts!
