Buy the book

New Rules is on sale through itch.io as a DRM-free ebook for USD$7.50 (around AUD$10 / GBP£5.60). It’s also available as a lovely 224-page A5 paperback. Because we’re posting from Australia, the paper book is very reasonably priced if you’re in AU/NZ — USD$15 / AUD$20, postage included — and honestly pretty unreasonably priced if you’re anywhere else: USD$25 (around £19 / €21), including postage.
