Mirabilis in da house

...in the Print Media Productions warehouse in Lancaster, to be precise. I don't know exactly how many copies are there - but a lot. Good job it's got a reinforced floor, coz those hardbacks are heavy. And that's not even all of the Volume 1 batch. Volume 2 is on the way in time for the autumn and here's a sneaky peek at Volume 3, due out next spring.

The green album

I took advantage of the sunny weather to get a few shots of my wife looking at the Mirabilis Volume One hardback, now just weeks away from UK release. These photos don't really do justice to the quality of the colour printing, which is the best I've seen. And look at the size of it - this is a real whopping great European album! More pics over on our blog. (And by the way, did you notice that t-shirt?)

Top of the world, ma!

Apologies for the avalanche of Mirabilis news this week, but there's no arguing with the Mighty Apple. And there we are splashed across the top of the "New & Noteworthy" page on iTunes. What can we say? Mr Jobs's guys, they have such good taste. You can pick up your Mirabilis - Year of Wonders graphic novel app here (the reader itself and first chapter are absolutely FREE) and if you haven't got yourself an iPad yet, here is where to find your local Apple Store. (No, we don't get a commission. It's just the coolest thing ever and you HAVE to get one. Trust me.)

Mirabilis hits No.17 in the Top Free Book iPad charts in just 24hrs!

Yesterday our iPad app, Mirabilis, finally made it into the light onto iTunes. It's a free app developed by Simon Cook that contains a super smooth reader and store front. You get the first 25 page issue free with the next 7 issues, totalling a whopping 200 pages, available to buy from within the app.

Mirabilis, with it's beautiful, rich colours by Nikos Koutsis, looks fantastic on iPad. Was Mirabilis made for iPad, or iPad for Mirabilis? Neither, but it's marriage made in heaven! We are really thrilled and excited to get our work out there and being downloaded so quickly. I know, you may say "free", is the way to get the numbers up, but I just looked and we are 117 in the Top Grossing iPad Books chart, so the paid for issues must be selling! We're doing this all ourselves, Dave, Nikos and me. Please help us by spreading the word!
