This is the Penguin Plays Rough Book of Short Stories.
PLEASE NOTE: IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 18.
If you buy this book you will get:
a) 23 detailed, occasionally sad, at turns hilarious and lovingly penned short stories written by people who have read at PPR since Dec 2008, individually designed and typeset.
b) 19 custom illustrations by 17 different illustrators.
c) 320 recycled pages, so you won't feel guilty about cutting down trees.
d) A hardcover for your book so it doesn't get wrecked.
e) An iPhone app download code, so that you can carry the book wherever you go, and hear the writers reading their stories whenever you want, which will have...
f) 9 live recordings from the Penguin Plays Rough nights, and
g) 13 scores for 13 of the stories, written, played and recorded by 13 excellent musicians.
(if you are doing maths, and have realised that 9 +13 does not = 23, that is because one of the stories is a Wikipedia entry, and it would simply be unfaithful to the grand Wikipedia tradition to turn said story into an audio track)
PLUS:
h) An imaginative map of all the stories in the book, hand screen-printed by the illustrator, and the rest of us at PPR.
