Very nice review by Lee Randall in the Scotsman last Saturday. Please excuse the awful photograph, which must have been taken several years ago. I never sit cross-legged on the kitchen counter; the photographer made me do it. Anyway here it is.

THE CARD Review - Manchester Evening News
The Queen of Hearts playing card, dropped in a deserted alleyway by a mysterious grey-haired man, is Riley's starting point. More cards, and thus more clues, appear. But has Riley got what it takes to decipher the cards correctly?
And will he be able to solve the mystery of the illusive card 19, which has haunted him for 30 years? The answer, as they say, is in the cards.
The Card by Graham Rawle is engaging, thought-provoking, and at times laugh out loud funny. The use of typographical features to highlight parts of the text and Rawle's illustrations of the cards is also visually striking. This story about ephemera is in no way short-lived.
