Bloke’s book’s up as a freebie

-

A PUBLICITY-shy man’s “tell-all” autobiogra­phy can be downloaded for free as an audiobook.

The bloke’s memoir Spare is being offered for new subscriber­s to Amazon’s Audible.

And major bookseller­s have been offering it at half price for pre-orders in a bid to drum up sales.

Despite Spare’s recommende­d retail price of £28, high street firm WH Smith advertised it at £14 in October.

It is also available for £14 on Amazon with the Kindle edition at £13.99.

Publisher Penguin Random House has pledged “raw, unflinchin­g honesty” in the “intimate and heartfelt memoir”.

The audiobook has been recorded by the publicity-shy author.

The California-living man is rumoured to have trousered an £18.4million advance as part of a three-title deal worth £36.8m.
