We’ve just launched a Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/boakandbailey) so that you can support this blog in its second decade, if you want to.Patreon is a service that makes it easy for those who enjoy art and media to encourage and financially contribute to those who make it.
The idea is that you make a recurring monthly payment of any amount you fancy. There are increasing rewards for different levels of support, e.g. a special ebook for those who sign up for $5 or more a month. There are also goals we commit to with each fund milestone.
You can read more about all that on the Patreon page itself (https://www.patreon.com/boakandbailey) along with responses to some frequently asked questions and feedback we’ve already received.
The main point is that it’s not compulsory and that the blog will continue as it is either way, except hopefully better. You can also cancel your support at any time — it’s not a huge commitment.
Thanks to those who have pledged already after hearing about this in our email newsletter — we really appreciate it.

If you don’t fancy Patreon you can also contribute by buying our books:*Brew Britannia (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brew-Britannia-Strange-Rebirth-British/dp/1781311862) is just going into a second edition (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brew-Britannia-Strange-Rebirth-British/dp/1781317151) (slightly smaller and cheaper, with corrections) and our new book, about pubs, should be available to pre-order soon.
If you buy our short ebook,*Gambrinus Waltz, from Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gambrinus-Waltz-German-Victorian-Edwardian-ebook/dp/B00PIJUH1A/) we earn 70% of the £2.00 cover price*and you get to read a book Martyn Cornell has called*‘excellent’. You don’t need a Kindle either — Amazon offers free apps for phones, tablets and desktop PCs. This is as close as you can get to buying us a half down the pub unless, er, you bump into us in a*pub.

And if even that’s a bit rich for your pocket there’s always the smallest unit of payment: shares and endorsements on social media.*It’s costs nothing but is a big boost for our morale and helps us find new readers. We’re not asking you to spam anyone — just tell people about us if you think they’ll find the blog genuinely interesting. We’re easy to find as ‘boakandbailey’ on Twitter (http://twitter.com/boakandbailey), Facebook (http://facebook.com/boakandbailey) and Instagram (http://instagram.com/boakandbailey) if you want to point people our way.

* * *If you’re a regular follower we hope you’ll trust us not to bloody go on about this — we’ll mention it every now and then in passing probably but otherwise this is it.
