I can't help but feel that a judicious rewording of the text might help y-, um, the seller to pitch the book to people who like golf—the book's intended audience, after all—instead of the David Baddiel completists, who I've no doubt constitute vast hordes but are probably respecting the great man's dislike of the sport and staying away on that basis.
PS: the your-mum comment up there was me. My browser at work plays funny buggers sometimes, he buckpassed deftly.
Ach, it was just funnier to list it that way. Think of it as 15p's worth of harmless amusement for me. :-)
Anybody looking for books on golf would still have found it, anyway. And since Oxfam had already thrown it away I don't feel like I'm doing the book a big disservice. I will probably just give it away on ucam.adverts.crap or something.
And I knew the your-mum comment was you, you big mummerer!
