(Local Collection only – Falkirk, Central Scotland)

Join Me by Danny Wallace.     

Originally published in 2003, this paperback edition was published by Elbury Press. The book is fairly thick at 383 pages long.

Danny Wallace was bored. Just to see what would happen, he placed a whimsical small ad in a local London paper. It said, simply, 'Join Me'. Within a month, he was receiving letters and emails from intrigued strangers all over the country, eager to sign up.

Teachers, mechanics, sales reps, vicars, schoolchildren, pensioners - all pledging allegiance to his cause. None knew what his cause was. 

Soon he was proclaimed Leader. Increasingly obsessed and possibly power-crazed he risked losing his sanity and his loyal girlfriend. But who could deny the attraction of a global following of devoted joinees? 

A modern day Pied Piper, he travelled the world. From Inverness to Amsterdam, Swindon, Paris, Zurich, Crete and Oslo. He became a minor celebrity in Belgium. He had a brush with a criminal mastermind in Devon. He made hundreds of old men all over the world very happy.

A book about dreams, ambition and the responsibility that comes with power, Join Me is the true story of a man who created a cult by accident, and is proof that whilst some men were born to lead, others really haven't got a clue...

The book is not new, but is still in very good condition - the contents are intact, with the covers only very lightly creased.
