IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO ORDER PERSONALISED COPIES THAT MZ WILL SIGN ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. PLEASE PLACE YOUR ORDER WITH THE NAME OF WHO IT IS TO BE SIGNED TO IN THE NOTES AND WE WILL SHIP IT STRAIGHT TO YOU AFTER SIGNING. 

LENGTHY MESSAGES CANNOT BE CONSIDERED DUE TO TIME RESTRAINTS, SO PLEASE KEEP THE MESSAGES SHORT AND BE RESPECTFUL OF MZS’S TIME. AFTER ALL, WE WANT HIM TO HAVE TIME TO WRITE MORE BOOKS FOR US. 

THEREFORE, IF YOU NEED THEM FOR A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY OR A GIFT WHERE THERE IS A TIME FRAME, WE REGRET THAT WE CANNOT LOOK AT ORDERS INDIVIDUALLY AND ASK THAT YOU DO NOT SEND EMAILS ASKING FOR EXCEPTIONS AS WE CANNOT REPLY INDIVIDUALLY TO EVERYONE. WE CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THEY WILL GET SIGNED BUT CAN’T GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL ARRIVE WHEN YOU NEED THEM SO WE ASK YOU TO BE MINDFUL OF THIS REQUEST. 

WE ALSO WANT TO INFORM YOU THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO FACILITATE YOUR PERSONAL EDITIONS GETTING SENT TO US TO BE SIGNED AND RETURNED TO YOU. 

OUR AIM IS TO GET SIGNED COPIES TO YOU AS QUICKLY AND AS SEAMLESSLY AS POSSIBLE – WE JUST NEED YOUR SUPPORT & UNDERSTANDING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. 

Thank you for understanding and we look forward to hearing from you. 

The extraordinary international bestseller from the author of new novel Bridge of Clay.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

“Brilliant and hugely ambitious … the kind of book that can be life changing” The New York Times

It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath.

Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

By her brother’s graveside, Liesel’s life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravedigger’s Handbook, left there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery.

So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordion-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor’s wife’s library, wherever there are books to be found. But these are dangerous times. When Liesel’s foster family hides a Jewish fist-fighter in their basement, Liesel’s world is both opened up, and closed down.

The Book Thief is a story about the power of words to make worlds. In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.
