BEAT THE CREDIT CRUNCH AND LAUGH!

Silly Beggar takes the art of acquiring the freebie to a whole new level of absurdity.

Discover the art of the entertaining email, each craftily designed to garner goodies for absolutely nothing.

Delight in the fun of strange experiments, attacks by penguins and all manner of fishy tales, dreamt up by a zany man on the make.

Enjoy the weird and wonderful replies and marvel at the goodies that arrive through the post!

Whether he’s playing the system or just playing games, James Spence demonstrates his comic genius via this uniquely entertaining book.

Praise for Silly Beggar

“A very amusing illustration of the lengths people will go to earn a buck - public relations will never be the same again.”
Nigel Williams, Best-Selling Author, The Wimbledon Poisoner

“The author has clearly spent years plaguing companies with his idiotic requests for freebies, could this be where the global meltdown started?’’
Paul Foot, Life President, The Guild of Paul Foot Connoisseurs
