According to Wikipedia, the first ever text message was sent on December 3rd 1992 by Neil Papworth, and said "Merry Christmas".
What better way to celebrate that marvellous event, and get a couple of Christmas present stocking fillers at the same time, than by buying Text Messages, a selection of poems all small enough to be sent in a single SMS?
Still not sure? Read the 4 and 5 star reviews on Amazon like this one:
"This book is absolutely fantastic. The text message is the modern casual poem, and Wilson's lyrical words are as understated as they are elegant and profound. They remind me of Roger McGough, Philip Larkin, and even the band Death Cab for Cutie. Wonderful short observations on everyday life. A lovely book I'll re-read and will take everywhere. More please Mr Wilson!"
And if that wasn't enough, the last few copies of this unique first edition have a cover by renowned motion graphics genius The Ronin, his only book cover to date.
But what about the price? The price is an amazing 3 UK pounds!
