The book can be bought via the official K9 website. Before the release it was promoted on this website.[1] Via crowdfounding they wanted to collect more money to make the book a little bigger. For £100, five people's faces would be used for a character in a short story. Other goodies, like autographs or postcards were offered for less money.[2]
