Just a quick reminder that we still have some copies of The Puzzle Hunting of the Snark for sale if anyone's interested, at £7 +postage and packing. Just send me a private message and I'll get it sorted out.

Absolutely! Although I would point out that when we got our own original copies ordered via Kickstarter, it came with a covering letter which included (a) links to the website (and initial hints to be found there) ; (b) direct e-mail for hints ; (c) e-mail address for enquries about becoming a member with access to the forum. In addition there was a copy of the Butcher puzzle for copying and cutting out (to save cutting up the book). The book itself does refer people to the puzzlebrains.com website, but nothing else.
I realised that when selling a couple of copies to friends, they really needed to have this extra information as well. so I included a copy of that letter in the package, even though it was originally aimed at the Kickstarter supporters. But if we don't pass this on, then we won't stand a chance of recruiting them to become subscribers - which was part of the aim of the exercise! So can I suggest that you do the same, please?
I also noted that on the website there are two errata messages about misprints, which really ought to be passed on to anyone receiving the book - so I have added a handwritten note at the bottom of the letter that I have included, telling them that they need to go to the website to fi8nd those corrections.
Let's hope that we do manage to swell our numbers a little bit through all this effort...

Yes, I have an amended version of the letter which has been sent out with subsequent orders.

Thanks - very helpful. It was no good just giving out the book without the explanation (and the errata) and the spare Butcher puzzle is a good idea.
