Sue Steven from Whittles Publishing gave us a bit of background on the company and the books they publish:
“Whittles Publishing is a small but growing independent publisher based in Dunbeath, Caithness, in the far north of Scotland. We take pride in producing attractive and quality books that are a pleasure to read. As well as a technical list, we publish within nature, wildlife and maritime including a number of books on birds that have been highly acclaimed.
Our most recent titles include Life with Birds by Malcolm Smith, The Hen Harrier by Don Scott, Kestrels for Company by Gordon Riddle and Growing Barn Owls in my Garden by Paul Hackney.”
All these books are available through NHBS, and we think this growing list is an essential addition to the literature on birding – the content is often highly personal and anecdotal, and imbued with a real sense of dedication to the subject – and each makes a welcome contribution to current ornithological knowledge.
