I know who you are and i will never forget how you insited I came in and sat at a table to sell and sign the books. YOU pawl gave me a few minutes of bliss as
the sweet fans lined up to get thier copy. i sold 20 in what three minutes and then ...........was ejected back onto my wheely bin . Lets hope that the book
becomes as approved by the Sweet inner circle as it is by the bands fans and Im allowed to bring it to them at gigs for a while. When you walked up to me I
thought you were going to have a go at me ..... you , Mr Pawl, gentleman and no 81st buyer...........made my night ! my eternal thanks . Brian Manly .
Happening soon...
New Book about Brian!!

Brian,
I couldn't quite understand why on earth you had to sell something that most of us 'Sweet' fans wanted to buy from the top of a wheelie bin, shear madness. For this book to be readily available right under our noses and yet we may have missed it? I'm pleased that you sold some extra copies because of me insisting you sat in the beer garden, that's great news anyway and let's hope you sell loads more my friend. Best of luck to you. Pawl.
I get better and better looking every day...... I cant wait for tomorrow!!

I wouldnt have bought one if Pawl hadn't stopped me and told me where it was on sale.
As Stewart has "endorsed" the book, don't see why it was a problem selling it...

Well said John and Claire, check it out before it's "sold out" and how many now regret not buying Steve's book when it 'WAS
available?'

hope you enjoy it . you are in the US if i remember correct. im up to book 142 now so its hard to remember people . It is a once in a lifetime experience to
be where i am right now. The little lad who listened to Blockbuster over and over in his bedroom and stole his cousin sandra's copy of wig wam bam, is now
Brian Connolly's biographer............spooky. ps thats a pic of you with steve isnt it . he was lovely to me with regard the book. first e mail said ,
"good luck, about time somone told Brian s story. ask me things if you want , im promising nothing though. " I thought fair enough, and we got on
fine . Im not sure who did hot pants best , him or Kylie Minogue ! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz im bushed

Thanks for writing the book! It should be an interesting story, I agree it's time it was properly written and recorded. Brian was one of the most
identifiable faces and voices of the 1970s, and still is today.

hello boys and girls . to see the first article about the book in the press log on to . hhhhhhhhhhmmmmm a ctually just google . Borehamwood times . then click
on e paper . the article is on page 16. you can zoom in . It s nice but the reporter did not mention the shops its available in in the town. on the subject of
press. I am dealing with the Harefield Gazzette . The young man wasnt terribly interested till I told him that BC was Harefeilds most famous son ! they dont
have a book shop but the local art gallery will do a big window thing if I get the Gazzette to do a featurre . I ll let you all know . BCs in the paper again !
...Brian

Well I totally missed it being sold. I even spoke to you at the bar Brian briefly, but I didn't put 2 and 2 together. It was only after I saw this thread
that it clicked. You gave me a "flyer", but I couldn't read it without my goggles on! I'll be getting it asap.

just thought to say i think this book is fantasitc to read!!! I cant believe for a second why anyone wouldnt want to read it is giving me some answerds i want
to knlow the answer to but never got the chance to find out!!! and the one thing that bugged me was when did brian stop drinking?? did he stop a while ago
before he died?? it just ate at e because i also have fealt strong about the fact that if you have got to stop something because of yourelf you should do..
thts the only reason why and it upset me tht brian got like this... but thanks to his daughters personal comment i found out tht he did!! and so to be able to
find out many more answers is wonderful becuase after all brian was and always will be my idol!! so thank you again brian for writing this for every sweet fan
around the world it will no doubt put to rest some MYTHS

I spoke to Brian yesterday morning. He's busy packaging and posting. Hopefully by this time next week I'll have had nice note from the postman
telling me to drive 10 miles to pick it up as it won't fit the letter box
 .
He carries out his duty

it was interesting book although most people here know the story it was written from Brian Manleys view and at last does put the whole BC story in one place
and a great tribute to him. Its is sad but well worth reading I got it the day before Bilston and read most of it coming over on the plane thanks once
again....

kitty kitty kitty ! its on its way ............if you are mrs P . I had to remember not to put Hs name on your book . or maybe you re another kitty ? It is
odd, some hits is such small publisher that , i kinda get to know you all and we are at 160 copies so far ! but I kinda see names on sites and think.....thats
my woolfgang.......or .....hmmm , thats little sue or ........wow its kitty ! ....... I love this I really do . There is a press article about the book, our
first . you can all see it by googling "Borehamwood times" then there is a choice to see the paper on line. Me and the book get a write up on page
16. it is getting pretty wild here with other press things , offers and all. theres a list of stuff on the some hits site and when other things become
"certain" ill let you all know but 20 yrs in showbusiness taught me not to count my chickens ! . I wish you could all see my home , just now, it is
a little sweet book factory ! ........shall i do a new documentary about it ? Have you all seen the two on you tube so far ? 0belly9 channel. bye for now
Brian Manly .
