Not anything concrete at the moment. We're aiming to have it ready for mid to late spring and the format will be along similar lines as the first book with limited leather and cloth bound editions plus an unlimited run of paperbacks. I've only seen a little bit of the content myself so not sure what it's going to be like but it will of course be superbly illustrated.

Taking pre-orders for it sometime after Christmas.

Hardbacks are long gone I'm afraid. A few leathers if you're feeling flush Image

Might see you there then Phil. On the same day we'll also be launching a new roach book by Mark Everard and a book on the history of the London roach pole (and much else besides) by Michael Nadell.

Charlie and Stew I'll send you a pm. Post got pulled last time I put prices and links up.
