Doodled Book Alert - Pre-Order Mortlock After Books Sell Out + Coming Soon

Many thanks to all the customers who bought Mortlock books - these will be with you very soon. If you missed out on our exclusive copies of Mortlock last night you can now pre-order a copy. Stock will be limited due to the authors work schedule. To pre-order visit http://www.doodledbooks.com/mortlock-by-jon-mayhew-1810-c.asp

These rare books will be signed, lined, dated, numbered and doodled in the same exquisite style by Jon Mayhew exclusively for our collectors. Every first edition book will have a full numberline and will be in fine/fine condition. The books will be posted out in a couple of weeks.

Here's the information from last night:

From the publishers of Harry Potter comes new first-time author Jon Mayhew with a brilliant mystery adventure story Mortlock. It’s an original tale of two brave twins who take on the forces of evil while they piece together their extraordinary history. The sister is a knife-thrower in a magician’s stage act, the brother an undertaker’s assistant. Neither orphan knows of the other’s existence. Until, that is, three terrible Aunts descend on the girl’s house and imprison her guardian, the Great Cardamom. His dying act is to pass the girl a note with clues to the secret he carries to his grave. Cardamom was one of three explorers on an expedition to locate the legendary Amarant, a plant with power over life and death. Now, pursued by flesh-eating crow-like ghuls, brother and sister must decode the message and save themselves from its sinister legacy. In our opinion quite simply one of the best children’s books released this year. The publishers at Bloomsbury have put a lot of thought into this books design. Each book has fabulous red endpapers and the page edges have been finished in black.

The Next Big Thing Since Spiderman?

Do you remember last year when Entertainment Giant Disney announced that it was going to buy Marvel and take over ownership of over 5,000 characters including Spiderman and X-Men? Soon after there was a record breaking sale of the first ever Spiderman comic. It would be amazing to have the insight to invest in something like that…
Well now a fabulous new comic book series has been launched in 2010. Imagine a Bogart and Bacall movie recast with Laurel and Hardy. Dressed in dog suits. That's not really quite what Good Dog, Bad Dog is like but still, imagine. Good Dog, Bad Dog, meanwhile, is a knockabout comic noir adventure comedy full of slapstick humour, terrible puns and exciting action. It's inspired by all the old black and white film noirs that we all love but it's unpretentious fun rather than arty homage (though hopefully with a touch of class about it). Comics guru Paul Gravett praised its "snappy patter and clever twists" and called it a "punchy, fast-paced ... witty yarn" and that's pretty much what Dave Shelton was aiming for. It stars canine detectives Kirk Bergman and Duncan McBoo fighting crime in their home city of Muttropolis (I did mention the terrible puns didn't I?) as they tackle villains such as evil Wah Wah Johnson and thuggish Pug Ugly, trade lines with femme fatale Fifi La Confiture and occasionally disguise themselves in unconvincing beards. It's daft exciting fun and it's got milkshakes in it: what more could you want?

Rare Hodd Books by Adam Thorpe

Good Morning

Who was Robin Hood? Hodd is a brilliant new book which puts a new spin on this famous question. After only a few weeks this title went into a second print run and it has proved very popular.

It’s hard to think of an English folk hero with more broad appeal than Robin Hood. This is testified to by the sheer number of times his story has been turned in to films and TV series. With Ridley Scott’s version, starring Russell Crowe, hitting the big screen this year, and the BBC’s primetime adaptation reaching its third series, Adam Thorpe’s new novel is a timely reminder that the origins of the story almost certainly have very little to do with men in green tights, dispossessed nobility or doing anything for the benefit of the nameless poor.

Hodd is definitely an ambitious piece of work not to be missed. Doodled Books has just 17 rare first edition first printings in stock. Each book is signed, lined, dated, doodled and numbered. To view them click here www.doodledbooks.com/hodd-by-adam-thorpe-1685-c.asp

The book has also had some amazing reviews in national newspapers such as The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian.

Hope you are well and having a great day!
