Audiobook
However, for those who like to listen rather than read (it’s a lot safer when you’re driving, after all), I have read the whole thing (twice – I wasn’t satisfied with the first reading), and it is now available exclusively from here in audiobook format.
It’s two hours and thirteen minutes long, and the price is eight guineas (the same amount as the price charged by Georgie for his services). Loaded onto an iPhone/iPad, it appears divided into chapters, and can be listened to using the Books app that comes with the iPhone. It is also possible to listen to it with iTunes on Mac and Windows computers, and possibly on other devices such as video players, if you load it on a USB stick.
If you have an Android phone, you may find this link to be useful (there is no copy-protection or DRM on this file, by the way).
Anyway, here is a brief sample (the second chapter). You may recognise the link music between chapters – and I artificially aged it to sound like a 78 from one of those horrid gramophone things.
The whole thing weighs in at just under two and a quarter hours, and the file is just over 100MB in size.
And the price? Following Georgie’s example in the book, I am pricing this at eight guineas – which is £8.40 in today’s money. Payment by PayPal or credit card, with the payment processed through Stripe and with the 100MB file delivered by SendOwl. When you pay, you will receive an email with a unique link allowing you to download the file.
