Lynne Truss’ publishers have now published Vivian Cook’s ‘Accomodating Brocolli in the Cemetary or why cant anybody spell?’ (I pasted that. I can’t be bothered to misspell). Amazon.co.uk already has a five-star review, containing the word ‘recieved’. I wonder if there are any spelling mistakes in the book? Spelling test available on author’s website, but it doesn’t tell you your score, although it’s a very easy test.
I tried to find if Mike Elton had been bribed to write this review. A Mike Elton also wrote in praise of Eats, Shoots and Leaves, including one punctuation error. And there is a list of favourites by ‘Mike Elton, 12 year old reading fanatic’.

I was at Waterstones (there should be an apostrophe somewhere, but I’m a foreigner so…;-) and saw this book
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1843170981/qid=1096614435/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-1711630-3743608
on the shelf. I didn’t have the courage to buy it though.
Thanks, Isabella. I might blog it, but I should do some work now! I saw a couple of old chestnuts in the review. I suspect it was better left unbought.
