But, then, just what \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e a postie in the 21st century?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter one Christmas on the job almost sends him packing, Tom Dymond embarks on a year of wondering and wandering through the streets of Bristol. As the pressures on a modern day mailman pull him in two directions, he asks what it means to be a good postie, and why there isn't a word for a collection of them? Maybe if he can find the word, he can find the meaning.\u003cbr\u003eThrough scorching summers, freezing winters and biting dogs he seeks the appropriate phrase, all the while seeking the appropriate letterboxes. Is it a perambulation of posties? A pillar, perhaps? A strike, more likely? This year of letters exposes the carnage and comedy of the sorting office, gives voice to the messengers of the nation, and reveals the life of a postie in a way never heard before. In \u003cem\u003eLetters from a Postman\u003c\/em\u003e, Tom Dymond tucks the reader into his satchel and takes them on his daily rounds. If you like a travel book with a twist, a postie with a point and a bundle of letters about the British, then the enclosed is undoubtedly for you.\u003cbr\u003eYours Sincerely, \u003cbr\u003eP.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Dymond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardstone House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916900110\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardstone House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43156847788147,"sku":"9.78192E+12","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_b3ffad7f-17b6-456e-bfb9-589886ff37eb.jpg?v=1750939029","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/letters-from-a-postman-a-year-of-walking-the-walks-9781916900110","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
