This is what this page has become now, as we trundle towards paying out for another two-years or not for what’s basically a signpost these days. Still what are you going to do? Buy things for Xmas! This is the second selection, a first can be found here.
It’s the tie-in book for great-once-you-get-past-the-intro podcast Lateral!
100 questions with show-style notes to baffle and bewitch your friends and/or family with. All the fun of going “ahhh, mmm, you’re sort of in the right sort of area sort of” like they do on the show, £13.59 on paperback, £8.99 on Kindle and it’s out on 14th November. Mainly new questions on offer with a couple from the podcast, if the podcast ad read is anything to go by.
But why stop there when you can go on a journey across the world through the medium of puzzles? The Race Across The World Official Puzzle Book promises to be an “action-packed” trip through the first three routes except with puzzles. I hope there’s a puzzle where you have to find a lost passport on a packed bus like what seems to happen every series now. It is £12.19 flexibound (oooh) and is out today, apparently October 24th! The Amazon page has a sample you can read (lots of white space and pictures) if you want a preview. We get a small kickback from Amazon links, but you’re a grown up and can buy elsewhere if you want – I’m not your Dad!!!
OR! Why not buy the official The 1% Club book out November 7th? £13.79 in paperback or £7.99 on Kindle. No preview given although I think you’ve probably got a decent idea of what to expect, puzzles laid out in difficulty order. Don’t know if they are new for the book or taken from the show, so buyer beware.
If you look closely the release date on the Race Across the World book does say the 24th, but of *next* month – although, considering the latest celeb series just finished, this week would’ve perhaps made more sense from a marketing standpoint.
What an idiot, thanks Oliver, changed.
Looks like The Entertainer is going to be selling Travel Editions or, as these items will be called. ‘Takeaway Editions’ of Deal Or No Deal, Catchphrase, Blankety Blank, In For A Penny, Wheel Of Fortune, Family Fortunes (Regular and Kids editions) and Supermarket Sweep for £15 each
I am fascinated to see how they’ve done Supermarket Sweep as a “takeaway edition”.
