POET and broadcaster, Ian McMillan, has published a book filled with his humorous tweets.

Ian, host of The Verb on BBC Radio 3, has an ever-growing following on Twitter which currently stands at more than 41,000 followers.

His new book which is titled T'witterer, is a collection of his best and most popular tweets, and the first time they have been published in book form.

Ian said: “Of course a tweet isn’t as important as a novel or an opera, or maybe it Is. Anything that raises a smile or tickles a fancy or stimulates a brain cell is important, really important. And next time you see me on a train or a street, do something eccentric and I’ll tweet about it!”

Ian will be signing copies of his new book at Barnsley Bookshop on Friday, December 14 at 10.30am.
