For those that remember 'The Totem Pole' - the memoir of my traumatic brain injury on said sea stack.
For reasons beyond my control it has not been reprinted or had any new editions for 15 years. For over a decade people have been asking me where they can buy copies (especially since I finally climbed the Totem Pole in 2016). I have to tell them I think the odd copy is still in circulation on the internet.
Well, that situation is about to change...
With your help I hope to produce a new 20th anniversary edition. Going back to my original files, I have restored the authentic text that was previously edited out - mostly on the grounds of it being offensive (well, due to my brain injury I was disinhibited). Were there were sixteen photos in the middle of the book, now there are fifty-five throughout the text. Plus that classic cover photo by Simon Carter.
I have to pre-sell about 250 more copies to raise the funds to reprint. Every reward has an additional download of Doing It Scared - the award winning film of my ascent (the slowest ascent on record at 18 years).
Many thanks guys.
