Following a year of hard work, my handbook is now complete and available to buy.
This has been a labour of love, and given its niche nature, I have chosen to self-publish via the website Lulu. This is an excellent website for producing written materials.
I have taken my time over this book and toyed with the idea of providing the material free of charge via a website. I went back and forth on this and opted for a paperback because that's how I like to work. I like printed matter, and when I am studying or learning new things, I find nothing better than having a text to thumb through rather than flipping between windows on a laptop. Call me old-fashioned.
This is not my first self-published book, but this time I approached it more professionally. I had it professionally reviewed by a science editor and had an artist design a front cover, both contracted via Reedsy. I rigorously checked my maths, which was tough given my difficulties with the subject. I enjoy maths, but only when it works!
The book was published this week and is currently only available on Lulu from this link:
Camera Trapping - A Practical Handbook for Wildlife Researchers and Enthusiasts
The book is priced at £19.99, which I hope people feel is a suitable price given the content. I have not written this book to make a pile of money; in fact, I will be happy to just break even. This is about sharing my experience and, hopefully, encouraging people to take up a fantastic hobby.
Eventually, it will be available via Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but may be priced higher due to their pricing structures.
