Press Books MD John Bond says, "We're thrilled to be launching this app at the same time as our paperback publication of the phenomenon that is Wolf Hall. The enhanced app gives us an opportunity to reach readers who want to experience the book in an exciting new way."
Enhanced Editions' Peter Collingridge adds, "Releasing an Enhanced Edition of the most successful Man Booker prize winner ever shows the incredible growth and authority now associated with reading on the iPhone. This is a book that defies simple categorisation, and we expect it to gain a whole new audience among the increasingly broad demographic of iPhone users."
