THE BRAND-NEW BOOK FOR 2025 BY 2 MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR BOB MORTIMER.
Bathroom salesman Matt is at a crossroads. He has lost his job, he is about to be made homeless and his girlfriend has left him. He wants his luck to change and he wants things to go back to how they were. Out of the blue he is offered a job that comes with a free luxury apartment. He hopes this might be enough to tempt her back. But, as events unfold, it starts to dawn on him that perhaps she didn't leave of her own accord after all...? Praise for Bob Mortimer: 'As a comedian, Bob Mortimer spins a shaggy-dog story like nobody else' The Guardian ‘The much loved comic proves adept at noirish fiction in a debut whose surrealist humour sets it apart’ – Observer ‘Mortimer’s verbal specificity and off-kilter humour will keep his fans chuckling’ The Times 'There is a sweetness to his worldview that makes his writing gently poignant... Like Spike Milligan, the only vintage comic whose fiction is still read, Mortimer has managed to use a novel as a vehicle for his distinctive comedic voice' The Telegraph

The Long Shoe by Bob Mortimer, his third book and just as funny and entertaining as the previous two.
Ordering was very easy and the website was easy to navigate, Communication was great when i was emailed to say book delivery would be a week later after publisher didn't send enough copies.
i did think i had ordered a signed version so was a little disappointed when opening, but that was probably my mistake.
All in all very pleased with purchase which arrived in purfect condition.
Thank you Bookhouse.
Hi Stephen,
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I loved it too, so easy to read and full of Bob's classic wit and ramblings.
Yes, we did have a few signed copies but unfortunately when your order was placed there wasn't any left available so I had changed the listing from 'SIGNED INDIE EDITION' TO 'INDIE EDITION' before any orders were placed. I'm really sorry if that wasn't clear.
I'm glad to hear it arrived in perfect condition, we look forward to your next order :)
