I met Morty in Malmo and Nijmegen and he was staying in the same hotel as us in Nantes. He's a sound bloke (as were the rest of the Stockholm exiles) and from what I've heard from quite a few people it's an excellent book. I'll probably purchase a copy alright I'd say.

Morty?
Was he the drummer that wore the Cork City shirt on Top of the Pops?
I think he edited a City Fanzine back in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

Bought a copy of the book last night, very well done.
Could make a nice little stocking filler for Xmas for any exiles
Bought it today in Easons. Excellent book and good value at 7.99 euro
Essential reading for all Corkonians at home and abroad.
Well done Morty.

There's actually still a bit of work to do which is why it wasn't supposed to be announced until next week, however most of it's up there now. Thanks for the pressure Jim.
