Dear

The Clue of the Curate’s Cushion

We want to let you know about some Personal Presentation Packs that we will be able to offer with Malcolm’s new book. It was not our intention to promote these items. However, the demand so far has been much higher than we anticipated. That is why we are writing to you, ahead of time, so that you can think about reserving a copy if you wish. We have only been able to arrange for twenty of these to be produced.

The packets will be issued in a card sleeve, hand-crafted locally, containing an original handwritten page of the draft manuscript, a hand drawn copy of the sketch plan for the mystery and, of course, a signed copy of the first edition. Each packet will have a signed and numbered bookplate and a personalised certificate setting out details of the limited edition. The price will be £39.99

Please do let us know if you would like a copy. With such a few copies left, it is only fair that we make reservations, first come–first served.

Unfortunately, we do not expect the book to be ready for Christmas but it will be dated and available for you several weeks before the publication date. Usually, the Bookcabin takes in copies of the new novel in early February.

Yours sincerely

Malcolm and Christine Noble.
