We thought you might like a sneak peek at the different covers appearing on physical copies of The Death of Bunny Munro all over the world. Many use the Bunny image you’ll be familiar with – although different publishers use it in slightly different ways – but check out Australia, Turkey, Croatia and in particular the Czech Republic for a very different approach!

Bunny Munro, our new app featuring the new novel by Nick Cave, has only been in the App Store for a few days, but we’re chuffed to bits to see some great reviews from users already appearing there:

We’ve just found out that Bunny Munro has finally been approved by the App Review team. More to follow, but right now, you’ll find the Bunny Munro app in all its delights, on the App Store.
This App is available worldwide, so if the above link doesn’t work for you (it should), just search for “Bunny Munro”.
Thanks everyone for your support. Just a quick update.
The Bunny Munro app is currently in review at Apple. We had hoped to clear the process before yesterday’s iTunes podcast and audiobook went live, and before the Guardian ran a piece about Enhanced iPhone books, but haven’t quite made it.

More info as soon as we have it.

(The audiobook has been around for many years now, from those huge tape packs you used to buy for long car journeys, through CDs to a new lease of life as mp3s from retailers like Audible and iTunes. The fact that audiobooks frequently outsell the hardback edition of many books is a direct but little-quoted challenge to the persistent idea that the physical, paper book is the only “real” way to read.)

Sorry for the silence. Have had our heads very very far down.
We’ve just submitted Nick Cave’s The Death of Bunny Munro to the app store for review. This is really exciting news – the fruit of a year or more’s labour. (more…)
