Synopsis
'Silly Beggar' takes the art of acquiring the freebie to a whole new level of absurdity. Rejoice as the customer service departments of multinational corporations are fed ridculous stories to make them part with T-shirts or other logo-bearing bounty. Bask in the author's bizarre accounts of penguin attacks, weird experiments, heroic alter egos and many more fishy tales, each designed to garner goodies for absolutely nothing. Whether he's playing the system or just playing games, James Spence demonstrates his comic genius via his uniquely entertaining emails. The respondents often surprise us too by entering into the spirit of James's wacky world. With colour photos of the author and his novel collection of branded toys, mugs, books, vouchers and, of course - T-shirts Full colour with cartoons and photos throughout. The ideal gift book!

Review
'...a very amusing illustration of the lengths people will go to to earn a buck... public relations will never be the same again.' --Nigel Williams, best-selling author
The author has clearly spent years plaguing companies with his idiotic requests for freebies, could this be where the global meltdown started? --Paul Foot, comedian, The Guild of Paul Foot Connoisseurs
About the Author
James is a young Scottish writer and cartoonist with far too much time on his hands. He lives with his wife Tiff and cat Angel in Stirling where he dreams, schemes and screams in delight when he receives yet another freebie. He is the creator of 'Dr Sheep and the Aardvark' , unquestionably one of Scotland's most popular online comic strips, enjoyed by thousands of comic fans around the world. One of his poems was recently published by Google in their book 'Search Me' by Neil Taylor. They also sent him 2 T-shirts!
