Your starter for ten: what has been the fasting-selling local book in the North West this season?
And for your bonus: why shouldn't you be alarmed?
You've guessed it – the first run of The Handy Wee Quiz Book, released just a fortnight ago, is almost sold out. But don't worry, a second print is heading rapidly towards Derry from the printers and will be at our offices well in time for the Christmas market.
Colmcille Press is delighted at the success of the book, which has featured on both BBC Radio Foyle's Mark Patterson Show and in the Derry Journal.
Director Garbhán Downey said: 'Many people are buying it for older members of the family, who might have competed in Derry's quiz scene in its heyday, as a Christmas gift. Others say they're intending to use it to organise a quiz for all the family after the Christmas or Stephen's Day dinner. There's plenty in it for all ages - from Derry Girls to local social media celebs, and from ancient history to the North West's massive cultural heritage.
'You can find copies of the book at Waterstones, Foyle Books, Visit Derry and at our offices in Ráth Mór - and we're delighted to announce that our much-depleted stock will be replenished at the weekend with the arrival of our second print.'
