Since its conception in 1945, the New Naturalist series has provided some of the great highlights of natural history publishing and we are very pleased to announce that this great old oak is still just as strong as ever. Next week sees the release of the 100th title in the series, Woodlands by evergreen ecologist Oliver Rackham, and it looks as though this landmark title is going to be amongst the most popular to date.
At NHBS, we are currently offering a 22% discount on hardback copies or a 28% discount on the paperback. And, with only a limited number of hardback copies available, Woodlands looks set to become an instant collectable classic, not to mention an entertaining and informative read. It’s also going to give the dispatch team here a rigorous work-out next week as we process advance orders. No wonder they’ve been looking so pale.
Next year should see 3 more titles added to the New Naturalist series: Galloway and the Borders, Garden Natural History and The Isles of Sciliy. More information on these titles will be available closer to their publication dates, so watch this space.
Why a 2009 second edition?
The new edition of Woodlands is a text only version without illustrations will be available in July 2009.
