ROLL UP, ROLL UP!

And get your own Steam in the Willows books, cards, journals and more!

After nearly two years of solid work, the physical copies of Steam in the Willows are available for purchase!

There are three editions available:

  • Black and White Paperback
  • Standard Colour Paperback
  • Premium Colour Hardback
All editions are print-on-demand and available through Amazon, or truly excellent retailers, or through me!

Steam in the Willows: B&W Paperback


A classic format, reeking of tradition and pre-digital technology. For those of you wishing to truly embrace the anachronistic elements of this story, this is the edition for you! 
Also, cheaper than the others! 
6 x 9 inches, 218 pages, contains around 70 black and white illustrations. 

Price: US$19.95 + $4.95 Postage
Ships Worldwide



Steam in the Willows: Standard Colour Paperback


Not quite as flash as the Premium Colour edition, but certainly a solid and quality book. For those of you who like your illustrations in colour, but still want something compact enough to slip into a bag or tuck under an arm. 
6 x 9 inches, 218 pages, contains around 70 colour illustrations on 70gsm paper.

Price: US$24.95 + $4.95 Postage
Ships Worldwide



Steam in the Willows: Premium Colour Hardback


The steam-powered Rolls Royce of all editions! Beautiful quality hardback with parchment-coloured pages, intricate borders and high quality colour printing. This is the heirloom edition, and would comfortably sit on a mantlepiece beside your carriage clock and miniature gramophone. 
8 x 10.88 inches, 188 pages, contains around 70 premium full colour illustrations.

Price: US $49.99 + $4.95 postage

All the physical stuff: DONE.

For all of my Kickstarter contributors who may have not heard already - everything physical has been shipped.
You read that right, folks! Both paperback black and white and hardback colour editions are on their way to you! RIGHT NOW! OH MY GLOB!

Both editions together.
Both editions together.
I'm so excited to hear how people enjoy the books once they receive them!
Non-Kickstarter editions will also be available really soon, for anyone thinking that they might make a nice festive present for someone else (hint hint) and the E-Book edition should be following shortly, too!
So many exclamation points!!!

Cards and Journals have arrived!


While there is still some back and forth going on between my designer and Lightning Source, I'm delighted to say that all the cards and Journals have arrived!


As the books will be posted separately anyway, many of these are already winging their way towards contributors.

The cards are 100% recycled stock and have printed up beautifully. They are A6 format and will be packaged with envelopes. The interiors are all blank, so you can fill them with whatever whimsy makes you and the recipient most happy!



The notebooks/journals ended up even fancier than I first planned. They are A5 size with a 300gsm matt finish soft cover and 64 internal pages. Small inked illustrations from the book adorn every few pages.


I'll be setting up an Etsy store very soon, should you want to buy any further notebooks or cards.
