Welcome aboard and best of luck with the new book.
This looks good. I love these kind of guide books.
received my book today....WOW.. I have only had a chance to skim it but WOW...lots of good stuff in there.
Postive:
Everything. SOOOO much info is packed into this thing. I forgot the actual page count but this is like a huge thick NOVEL dedicated to Thundercats!
It is A LOT longer of a book than I thought it would be and very in depth.
If I HAD to think of a negative:
One minor gripe is the actual SIZE(physical size not page count) of the book. It seems a bit small and a bit difficult to read. The binding already had a bit of a crease. I think of the book pages were made a bit larger it would have cut down on the thickness and therefor easier to read. It is a minor nitpick and the only one I can think of so far so that is a HUGE plus.
Darn it's out of stock at the moment on Amazon.

That sucks, I hate books like that, I'll pick this up eventually, but I'll wait because those type of books tend to give me a literal headache....
.....hahaha.... a "literal headache" that was so unintentional!
Hi everyone, I've got to say that I think the type size is spot on (though I am, of course, biased as author of the book). There are plenty of much smaller print books on the market.
If your copy was creased, I would, of course, recommend you return it to the retailer for a replacement as, of the copies I got from the publisher, none had any damage!
It's always a balance and this is a huge book. If it was any bigger it would have been very expensive to ship, and everyone then has to pay extra! It's a massive quarter of a million words, so it could have broken a toe if it was any larger!
I hope you're enjoying it nonetheless :-)
Thanks
Dave Crichton
It is back in stock in Amazon UK, they just notified me about fulfilling my order.
Hi everyone, in response to a few calls for more information about my book, ThunderCatsLair.org have kindly updated their homepage to feature photos and chapter information which will hopefully convince those last few of you who haven't yet purchased a copy, to buy Hear the Roar! Enjoy:
“Hear The Roar!” – A Hit With Fans!
Many thanks

Thanks David! From the sound of things, it's spot on. Don't quite understand why there are links to U.K. based sellers, as they sell it here in the U.S. as well. At any rate, best of luck with it!
