‘Mein Kampf’ Accidentally Made Richard & Judy’s Book of the Week
Book groups up and down the country have been thrown into chaos after a large chain of independent bookshops inadvertently made Mein Kampf the Richard & Judy’s Book Club book of the week. The mistake was only discovered after Hitler’s semi-autography leapt to the top of the thriller charts.
‘This was a most unfortunate mistake,’ admitted bookshop owner Mrs Phyllis Gryce-Sedge who was the first to spot the mistake when one of her reading groups demanded schnaps for their mid-morning drink and asked for their reading corner to be annexed to form part of the greater German motherland. ‘Unfortunately, many of our reading groups have already gone ahead and have turned ever so slightly fascist as a result,’ she said.
‘It was even better than a Jilly Cooper,’ said one jackbooted member of a Norwich reading group who held a rally in the town centre last Tuesday. ‘But I did think it could have done with a little more romance. Such a nice boy needed to meet the right girl at the end.’
Meanwhile, Sir Richard Madeley has expressed his outrage at the mix-up. ‘Richard & Judy’s book club is meant to represent the very best books we’ve been paid to publicise,’ he said. ‘Did I just say “paidâ€? Sorry, sorry, sorry! I mean, they’re the best books that we discover ourselves through our own independent reading and nobody does it for us because I’m a man who reads at least five books a week and know everything these is to know about books. Strewth! Do I go through them? I’m a real bookworm… And so’s Judy.’
Meanwhile, book shops are rushing to fix the mistake. ‘We’re eager to help all our customers who have bought this terrible book,’ explained Mrs. Gryce-Sedge. ‘People only need to come into any of our stores and cite our Jeffrey Archer policy which means they’ll get their money back and a complimentary course of trauma councilling.’

You think this is funny?
It’s because of that b’stard Hitler that I can’t grow a toothbrush moustach anymore. Just when it looked like people were starting to forget and I could get away with having such a stylish growth.
Bah!
