A signed copy bought in Totnes! I've been reluctant to fork out for it before as much as I love Belle & Sebastian, I wasn't sure it would be a great novel. It wasn't a surprising story really, very autobiographical, so full of fey indie behaviour, lots about ME and trying and failing to get off with manic pixie dream girls. Worth reading though for all the music tips. Pleasantly surprised that 20 year old Stuart Murdoch was such a big dan of The Sundays, much as 20 year old David Sawyer was, but also other bands like Galaxie 500, Big Stat and the Pastels, all of which I've heard of but never really listened to - hopefully I can discover some new music in my old age, even if it is just more jangly guitar of the type I've spend most of my life listening to
