I stared at my computer screen. There, sitting in my inbox was an email that confirmed the world around me had gone totally and utterly, bonafide, stark-raving, strait-jacket wearing, mad. I read the first line. It said:

“Shed! Your book is number 44 on Amazon... Congratulations!”

Now, most authors would delight at this news, and of course I most certainly was thrilled, but in my case, the book in question was a little bit different to other books. And that’s why my jubilation was, well, let’s say, mixed in with a healthy dose of disbelief and abject bewilderment. Because, my book, entitled What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex is completely and utterly blank.

That’s right, you read that correctly, my book contains two hundred pages and each one has absolutely nothing printed on it.

Only if the first page is a picture of you.

I can see buying it as a gag gift... but I have a feeling that a lot of the people that bought the book originally might not have known it was blank.
