We've just launched our online shop where you can grab merch, art prints and TPL zines - all designed inhouse by one of my very talented bookseller comrades - as well as books that we are exclusive stockists of!
(And yes, we can ship internationally)

Oh this is so cool to hear - chuck us an email and we can see if we can trial stocking it if you're able to share a copy for us to read through! Would love to have more options to recommend to people as an alternative if we've sold out of Warhound - D

I like to kid myself that in a Warhound AU, I would be a valiant rebel, but let's be real, I'd be an Imperial propagandist - D
