High quality colour printing is more expensive than a paperback and I appreciate the risk buying a stranger's book.

For UK readers, my personal promise: if on reading Thunderpaws you don't feel it was worth the price, I will refund you, just send your copy back in good condition within 30 days.

For international readers, it's not possible to offer the same promise due to postage costs and shipping times. So, instead I'm offering the audiobook for £2.99 (a 62% discount on the current sale price of £7.99) as a thank you for taking the chance. You will be sent a discount code for the audio within 48 hours of your print copy order.

Adam's work in the studio was amazing and everyone says Thunderpaws is at its best read in print while listening to the audiobook. You get the story plus all the art of Robyn, MonoKubo and Adam working together. The audio is also available on Audible and other subscription services if you prefer.

Wherever you are in the world, if your head is going I'm a dog person, don't worry, dog lovers love TP too!
