‘No Coins, Please‘ by (Canadian) Gordon Korman. This was a favorite book as a kid. january 17 2009
Now here’s something: it was retardly hard to find. It took years of serious used-book store and flea-market vigilance; I actually got a bit obsessive about it. It was like the book had just vanished.
So when I searched for it at Chapters.ca, to link it up above, I was surprised to see they had an abundance of copies. So now I’m wondering if it’s been re-edited and would like to read the new version and test that theory.
