How To Buy The Record


My new bowel cancer fundraising book The Record is out now.  I have been fundraising since 2012, after my mother was diagnosed with bowel cancer and had the operation to remove the tumour. She lived with stage 4 bowel cancer for four and half years, but sadly died on August 29th, 2016. The Record is dedicated to her memory. The book features chapters of my meetings with famous people from the worlds of music, sport and television, as well as some truly amazing and inspirational people from the bowel cancer community.

Bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK. 16,000 lives are lost each year. However, if detected early at stage 1 it can be successfully treated in over 90% of cases. This figure falls dramatically to just 7% when diagnosis occurs at the late stage 4. Early diagnosis is therefore key and raising awareness about bowel cancer is vital.

There are a number of ways that you can buy The Record, which is available in three different formats.

Paperback Edition
  • rivers2cross.com This is the website I have set up. The book costs £12.99 including free P&P in the UK. £10 postage charge for overseas customers. 
  • Amazon The book costs £14.49 including P&P.

  • Amazon The digital edition for the kindle is only available for £3.99 on Amazon at the moment. There are free kindle apps that can run on all your devices.

  • Amazon The book costs £39.99 including P&P.
Worldwide (outside the UK)
  • Amazon Search "The Record Tim Darvell" and you'll come across the book.
  • Wordery Offers free shipping to anywhere in the world, so is a brilliant way for buyers living outside the UK to buy the book. As above search for  "The Record Tim Darvell".
The Record is also available to order from all good online book retailers.

I am also quite happy to sell physical copies of the hardback and paperback editions directly bypassing the websites. Please contact me on email me at timdarv@googlemail.com and we can arrange it on there.

I would like to thank everyone for the encouragement and support given so far, and every single purchase makes a difference. Please support me on this venture. It took over two and a half years to put this book together, and all proceeds from sales are donated to Bowel Cancer UK. Over £600 has been raised so far.
