Even if you've picked up this book just for one name you've excitedly spotted in amongst the sundry mass of contributors (from Trisha Goddard to Simon Callow), I guarantee you'll get sucked in and won't emerge until you've read every reassurance, scolding and tease directed over the imaginary bridge through time. Many of the letters delight in the idea of "predicting" our past selves' future (Julian Clary: "it's hard to swallow, but in a few years time you will swan around in black rubber consuming men like After Eight Mints") or else trying to change them (Danny Wallace: "buy shares in Google. That should sort just about everything out").
Just don't get involved in this on a philosophical level, or you'll wonder if the contributors really are imagining time travel or if they're just indulgently telling us, the readers, about their childhoods. Still, most (if not all) of them are playing along, meaning that there's some real snippets of sentiment. You'll be moved. You also might crack a rib laughing.
