About this product
All Fun and Games Until Somebody Loses an Eye is the Abacus paperback edition of Christopher Brookmyre's ninth novel, published in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2006 at £10.99 and running to 407 pages.[1][4] The comic thriller sends Jane Fleming, a 46-year-old grandmother from East Kilbride, into the arms trade after her son goes into hiding; the novel won the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction in 2006 and was nominated for the 2007 Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award.[5] Abacus is the literary paperback imprint of Little, Brown Book Group, whose list celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2023; the novel first appeared in hardback from Little, Brown in London in 2005.[6][4] Hachette Australia publishes the same ISBN in Australia.[2]
The barcode has been asked for since the original Barcodepedia captured a page for it on 16 July 2006, which recorded the same title, author and Abacus imprint.[7] Little, Brown Book Group has been owned by Hachette UK since 2006, when the group was bought from Time Warner.[8]

Coverage measures the evidence recorded here. It does not rate the product.
- Identity: 3 / 3 · Name, brand and classification recorded
- Book details: 6 / 6 · Profile fields recorded: authors, publisher, language, binding, pages, published. Missing fields may require research or an applicability note.
- Context: 2 / 3 · Evidence groups assigned to a researched label, edition or analysis
- Label photographs: 0 / 2 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Specifications: 0 / 3 · Recorded specifications mapped to comparable property keys
- images · unknown: No freely licensed cover image found: the Open Library cover and the publisher's jacket images carry no reusable licence, so the page asks the community for a photograph.
- markets · unknown: No UK retailer price beyond the publisher's own RRP: Waterstones, Blackwell's and Hive answer a captcha to the server, WHSmith does not answer, and amazon.co.uk is not fetchable.
- relationships · unknown: The printer of this edition is not named by any source read, so no manufactured_by row is recorded.
- relationships · unknown: The Australian distributing entity behind hachette.com.au is not established from a register, so the Australian evidence is a market row only.
- identity · unknown: The 978-0-349 block length is an assumption: the registrant element is assigned by the ISBN agency, not by GS1, and no register naming the holder of this element was reachable.
