September's a HUGE month for Canongate this year - not only are we publishing Victoria Coren's long-awaited poker memoir
For Richer, For Poorer (more on that below), we're also extremely excited to be presenting Nick Cave's novel,
The Death of Bunny Munro, to the world.
Most Nick Cave fans will already have got their hands on the limited collector's edition of the novel, which comes in a beautifully-flocked slipcase and is signed personally by the man himself. The Meet the Author podcast is now available on iTunes, so those who didn’t win tickets to see Nick read Bunny Munro live for the first time now have a chance to listen in.
We've got formats galore when it comes to Bunny - it also comes in hardback, audiobook CD boxset, audiobook download from audible.co.uk and iTunes, and ebook download. And both audiobook editions feature a special 3D spatialised mix to enhance the listening experience, too. We've really pulled out all the stops for Bunny Munro!
No less exciting is Victoria Coren’s forthcoming memoir -
For Richer, For Poorer. This telegenic poker player who's already in the public eye (part of Team PokerStars Pro, Channel 4 poker, a Guardian weekly column and the very successful BBC4 quiz show
Only Connect...) has written on what it's taken her to become one of the best poker players in the world. It's a personal story, but it's also packed with tips and strategies for any budding cardshark. If you want to know about poker strategy, For Richer, For Poorer is the book for you; Victoria covers the strategies she used in every hand played at the European Poker Championship that won her a cool million dollars in 2006.
And our final book for September is the paperback edition of last year’s runaway hardback hit -
Eunoia. It became a sensation when it was featured on BBC Radio 4, with word fiends embracing this feat of experimental poetry and coming up with their own univocalic verse. Now in mass market paperback with a stylish silver spine,
Eunoia is five chapters of verse starring only one vowel per chapter.
(Chapter U is not for children!)
