Thanks to everyone who has ordered a copy of Learning to be Irish. Unfortunately, the first box of books to arrive was, in fact, a single book, which was partially stuck to the packaging. Heigh-ho, these things happen. So, I have orders ready to go out, and eco-friendly jiffy bags to pack them in, and eagerly await the unboxing of a full box of books in the coming days. Orders will be dispatched as soon as the books arrive.
Meanwhile, here is a picture of the back cover, on which some lovely people say lovely things about my book. Thank you, John O’Donoghue and S.M. Jenkin. Thanks also to Mark Holihan for the cover design, and to Michi Masumi for the author photo.
You can read an excerpt of the book, and find out more about how I came to write it, on Substack.
