Graham Linehan's book - his email said it was on Audible, but it isn't.

The latest email showed a pic which suggested it was on Audible, but it isn't when I search. Anyone know why this might be?

Tough Crowd

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Having cut his teeth in music journalism, Graham Linehan became the finest sitcom writer of his generation. He captured the comedy zeitgeist not just as the co-creator of Father Ted but also with The IT Crowd...

@GladysHeeler - On mine the audible option is not there. I searched Audible and the only result for Tough Crowd is the one by Andi Osho, I specifically searched as I have my new credit today. This is really weird.

@Flickersy Thanks for that, that gets me there. But how odd that just searching doesn't bring it up for me.

@Us3r - Yes, there now. That's a relief, was thinking it was a conspiracy!

Same thing happened to me ! Was disappointed as I was looking forward to listening with my new credit too ! Off to look again !

I had to specifically search for it on Audible - 'Tough Crowd' didn't bring it up - 'Tough Crowd Graham Linehan' did bring it up. Wouldn't surprise me if someone's messing with the algorithms.

the thing is, Audible’s search function isn’t very good. You often have to search by author because it doesn’t find results by title very well.

This. I always search by author now.

I added this to my library yesterday. Going to finish reading the book first then listen to it.

Although I've found it now, I just tried again out of curiosity and even if I type 'Graham Linehan', it brings up his name, then the Tough Crowd book by another author. All under the same search. That doesn't make any sense when I'm not searching by the title!

As I said, audible’s search functionality is dreadful. Laughably bad.

There no excuse for it either.

It came up in a search using the title for me now, thanks for letting me know it was available. I'd searched for it when people were talking about the paper version coming out and at the time it didn't come up on audible, even as a pre order.
