The Nett Set- The Complete Works of Will Nett
First Edition
Will Nett (Writer)Together for the first time in one volume, Will Nett’s Gonzo-steeped works, My Only Boro: A Walk Through Red & White, his riotous travelog, Billy No Maps: A Teessider On Tour, and his latest tome, Local Author Writes Book, form the Nett Set, commemorating a decade of literary adventures.
Will is an incurable backpacker, occasional banjo picker and habitual note-maker/taker, most of which have found their way into his no-nonsense, punchline-fuelled, relentlessly funny and dry-witted books.
Local Author Writes Book
Thinking of writing a book? It’s not all chat shows, award ceremonies and copious amounts of booze – except for the copious amounts of booze.
Join My Only Boro author Will Nett as he deals with his stratospheric new-found success – he was on local radio, y’know – and embarks upon ‘difficult second book phase’.
Stuck for new subject matter, and holding down a series of menial jobs in order to collect new material, he becomes embroiled in a peculiar world of yo-yo dieting, backyard boxing bouts, and religious cults.
It’s a wonder he has time for punch-ups on the streets of Paris, upsetting Eurovision song contest winners, and arranging a parking space for potential Prime Ministers… but could he turn any of it into a book?
My Only Boro: A Walk Through Red & White
My Only Boro is not just about Middlesbrough Football Club, it’s not just a history book about the town and it’s not just a social commentary on a town once described as the worst place to live in Britain – it’s all this and more.
“A must read for Boro fans, memories of the good old days that we long to return to, and all you non-footy fans will love it as well. It’s witty and fun to read, a real blast from the past.”
Bernie Slaven, Boro Legend
“Crying laughing! Seriously! Anyone from Teesside should read this book (though perhaps ‘Teesside’ is questionable?). Full of local facts sprinkled with down to earth boro humour at it's best. An interesting and funny walk through the best town in England.”
“Great little book with a witty insight into the history of Teesside past and present. If you are from the area then you need to read this book. Will writes like a Teesside version of Charlie Brooker! All of my friends who read this agree. Give it a go – you will not be disappointed.”
Billy No Maps
What do Pamela Anderson’s ex-husband, a Los Angeles street gang, a trans-European smuggling plot and 64 acres of sugar cane have in common?
They all became inextricably linked with Will Nett, that’s what, as he tangled with Balinese customs officials, almost died in the Australian Outback and foiled his own kidnapping at the hands of Fijian furniture salesmen during his chaotic year-long excuse for a holiday.
Will’s scarcely believable follow up to My Only Boro will have you hoping you never find yourself sitting next to him on a plane. Or a bus. Or anywhere…
…And if you’re planning a round-the-world gap year trip in the near future, whatever you do, don’t let your mum read this book.
“A punchline-fuelled, relentless humour from an excellent travel writer. Very funny.”
