Are unabridged audio tapes available of Fforde's books and where do I buy them?

Thanks.

I think those are abridged though, aren't they?

EDIT --> According to Mr Ff himself, 'Slightly trimmed for length' - and no 'Richard III' chapter.

I think I recall seeing an unabridged UK version on Jasper's bookshelf page (toward the far right, as I recall), but it said it was mainly intended for libraries, and Amazon UK doesn't appear to have it.

Found 'em!

Look here:
[www.isis-publishing.co.uk]

They appear to have TEA on both cassette and CD, and LIAGB on cassette, all unabridged and complete, and to take online orders.

if they're read by Elisabeth Sastre, it's likely those are mislabeled...I'd email Jasper directly and ask him.

As far as I can tell (without reading along - she speaks slower than I read!) it's a mild abridgement. Although, sadly, the Richard III chapter is missing. And it doesn't have the chapter headings by Millon DeFloss...

Nope, they're read by Gabrielle Kruger, and according to their website Isis only sells complete and unabridged books.

Look here:

To see the what they've got from Jasper.

Hi, all!

I've got the unabridged audiotapes of both Eyre Affair and LIGB. Go to www.audible.com. My LIGB does have the Richard III chapter, and I think both are the upgraded versions.

Elisabeth Sastre reads them - she does an EXCELLENT job.
