      Dear Reader,

      The book you are holding came about in a rather

      different way to most others. It was funded directly by

      readers through a new website: Unbound. Unbound is

      the creation of three writers. We started the company

      because we believed there had to be a better deal for

      both writers and readers. On the Unbound website,

      authors share the ideas for the books they want to write

      directly with readers. If enough of you support the book

      by pledging for it in advance, we produce a beautifully

      bound special subscribers’ edition and distribute a

      regular edition and ebook wherever books are sold,

      in shops and online.

      This new way of publishing is actually a very old

      idea (Samuel Johnson funded his dictionary this way).

      We’re just using the internet to build each writer a

      network of patrons. At the back of this book, you’ll

      find the names of all the people who made it happen.

      Publishing in this way means readers are no longer

      just passive consumers of the books they buy, and

      authors are free to write the books they really want.

      Authors get a much fairer return too – half the profits

      their books generate, rather than a tiny percentage of

      the cover price.

      If you’re not yet a subscriber, we hope that you’ll

      want to join our publishing revolution and have your

      name listed in one of our books in the future. To get you

      started, here is a £5 discount on your first pledge. Just

      visit unbound.com, make your pledge and type messy5

      in the promo code box when you check out.

      Thank you for your support,

      Dan, Justin and John
