POEM & STORY PUBLICATIONS by MIKE SMITH

Mike's 'PERFORMANCE' Home Page

SING ANOTHER POEM, was published on the 1st February, 2006, and is the first book published by The Adam Press to have its own Adam Press ISBN number. Well, it makes me happy!

£5, plus p&p for all direct sales, including on-line. If ever SING ANOTHER POEM gets to be sold in a shop the price will be something like £8 (£7.99!)



From 1st January, 2006, I've decided to price all of my DIRECT book sales of poetry books at £5: i.e. at performances, buying from me on the street corner, etc.

Postal/On-line sales and retail outlets @ listed price. Poetry packs and booklets continue at their normal prices.

Sorry if you bought at the higher prices, previously. However, if you do buy any more of my publications let me know the price you bought at - even if years ago - and I'll set things right!!

A fiver feels good, even though it contradicts economics, and it's so much easier to deal with £5 notes!!
