It’s here!

Our first copies just came back from the printers - eeek! They look bright and beautiful, especially on this rainy old day.

Publishing jargon alert: We call these early copies the ‘advances’. One is usually kept in-house, and the others go to the author and illustrator plus some booksellers or media. The ‘bulk stock’, that is, the full print run, should arrive in the warehouse in the next week or so. It will be zipped out to all the bookshops that ordered copies, in time for the pub date of 9 February!
