Anyone try the SommeWorld phone number in the add in the back? I got nothing - but since I am calling from the US, maybe I have the wrong country codes?

UK code is 0044, then the phone number without the first zero. (ie to call Reading, which has an area code 0118 from outside the UK call 0044118) I don't have my copy on me though, otherwise would call it. Things in the back are usually eggs, like the ISBN for a 1970s edition of Gulliver's Travels which appeared in either WOLP or LIAGB.

I tried to Google the number (without dialling codes) and the only result I got was as an ISO Military and Aviation part number for a Heat Sink:

I think I tried the number every which way but loose, and it doesn't seem to work! :-( I was hoping for an Eater Egg or something!
