I don’t want to get overly Akehurstite, but it is a bit shameless of Neal Lawson to use the Compass mailing list to encourage people to buy his new book on excessive consumerism.
I received an email from Lawson this afternoon:
Dear Friend
Thanks to everyone who has bought the book and the many who have told me how much they enjoyed it. If you haven’t got a copy yet this is what others have said:
“Lawson gives us a prescription for an alternative in which we recreate the public realm”
Felicity Lawrence, The Guardian
“Gripping”
Carol Midgley, The Times
“Passionate and very moral”
Rafael Behr, The Observer
…..[Blagh blagh blagh]…..
You can buy it here at Abebooks or here at Amazon.
Or support your local book store.
Best wishes
Neal
I found myself on the Compass mailing list after attending a Compass conference a few years ago with a fellow Paintbrusher. We weren’t especially impressed and decided not to join. I’ve received regular emails from Compass (mostly requesting donations) ever since. Nothing has yet made me change my mind.
