I went to see Alastair Campbell yesterday, to make a donation to Labour’s campaign efforts and to get my personally signed copy of The Blair Years.
Alastair is writing individual notes in the inside cover to people who buy a trade copy of book for £15, of which £7.50 goes directly into the Party’s election campaign.
He said yesterday:
“I hope some of you will think that whether for yourself, or as a present, or a raffle prize at your own events, this is a book worth having and a scheme worth backing.
The most we have raised for one copy, in the week it came out, was £60,000 paid by a businessman for a copy signed by TB, GB, JP, Alex Ferguson and me at a Labour sports fundraiser.
So it has already raised good sums for the party. As an election nears, I hope it can raise more.”
Well done to Alastair for coming up with the idea.
In my book, he wrote:
“To Alex,
With thanks for all the brilliant work you do for LabourList.
Vote Labour!
Alastair Campbell”
You can get the book with your personal dedication by clicking on the image below, stating who you would like Alastair to dedicate it to, and with what message you would like inside.
