The Dulwich Black Book

[Mark]

Did everyone get one of these delivered to their homes? It just seems to be a book of adverts or am I missing something?

[*Bob*]

No - it's a book of adverts.

Someone is looking to tread on the toes of Thompson / Yell.

I binned mine yesterday.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Adverts - recycled.

[Gerrard]

Obviously, *Bob* means recycle... This is ED.;-)

[*Bob*]

I hand-pulped it myself in the bathroom sink, combined with free-range porridge oats, filtered water, dandruff and fashioned it into the shape of snowflake.

Hey presto: one eco-friendly non-denominational festive bauble for all the family to enjoy.

[Gerrard]

Excellent work - a true leader of the tribe you are, Sir!

[kford]

Time for the EDF Red Book, with shops and services voted for and recommended by the people of ED?

[MadWorld74]

[Rolo Tomasi]

Got it. Nice design but I have all the cool contacts I need;-)

[KalamityKel]

It doesn't have a listing of all local shops, businesses and services like I would expect, or like, a useful black book to have. It's a book of adverts.

I thought it was a reformatted Living South when I had a look - that's not far wrong is it. Obviously the Black Book has better editorial content but....

[karter]

I agree with Mark,I received it last night flicked through it to see if anything was of interest and i'm afraid it will go into the recycle bin. I was asked to advertise in it but it did not appeal to me as a consistent method of advertising . It sounds like a good money spinner though, especially if its done on an area to area and on a national basis.

[Asset]

Well, I didn't get one.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Haven't seen the black book. Is this the one that was billed on here a few weeks ago to be out like a Time Out?

[AnotherPaul]

I got one and thought 'well the cover's ok' and then I opened it.

Like Dulwich Life but worse, much worse.

I don't think it should be recycled, that's not final enough.

[Frisco]

I've got it but not opened it, I'll save that little treat for later.

[KalamityKel]

Has this book been circulated all through ED? Havent had anything shoved through our letterbox yet :-|

[fish]

Got it, lost it and now can't find it - the little black book, not my sanity. Did look quite chic, though.

[macroban]

I am now the proud owner of one of these books.

I normally don't get the East Dulwich freebies. I think the delivery persons take one look at the front path and think it's not worth the effort. However, this year I did get a Christmas Card from the Leader of Southwark Council.

Why is it called "The Dulwich Black Book"? I think I must have missed something.

[Annasfield]

The cover was quite impressive, but when I opened it to find it full of adverts I was slightly disappointed. :(

Still, quite a handy thing to have though.

[KalamityKel]

I'm still eagerly awaiting the arrival of mine :|
