Dreamwords: An experiment in honesty

A copy of Dreamwords,  Book 1, the Honesty Edition, awaits collection from a bench in Strichen Road Park

Yesterday we were surprised to see a neatly cellophane wrapped copy of a book lying on a bench on the Links. At first this seemed to be  a discarded catalogue type publication but on closer inspection it proved to be part of  a project in honesty. The author has distributed copies of his book in several communities across in Scotland. members of the public are invited to take the book provided they promise to read it and either pay £1 to the author if they don't enjoy the book or to buy the book from him and order the next volume in the series. This is an experiment in honesty, through which the author, Paul Story, hopes to finance his next book. Paul is moving round Scotland writing and distributing his book, his courage and commitment can only be admired as he follows his own rainbow trail.

The question for Grey Granite is whether or not the book is worth reading but she wishes the author, Paul Story, well in his extraordinary project, detailed on the website below.

Each of the benches in Strichen Road Park seemed to have a couple of books awaiting collection.
