Going Dutch

Alan James is 'Chipmunka's' local 'Big Issue' vendor. 'Chipmunka's' Jason Pegler encouraged him to write about his experiences and 'Ten Years After' was the result. His second book 'Going Dutch' is his account of selling the Amsterdam street paper 'Z' during Holland's coldest winter for 30 years, and details the similarities and differences between homelessness in Amsterdam and London.
