Malachy Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 There's a new book about Fair Isle out tomorrow. It's a general introduction to the landscape, culture, history and wildlife of the island, told mostly through photographs. Images come from Dave Wheeler, David Gifford, Deryk Shaw and others, and it was written and edited by me and Roger Riddington, editor of British Birds magazine and former warden of Fair Isle Bird Observatory. The book will hopefully appeal to those interested both in the community and in the ornithology of Fair Isle. You can see sample pages and pictures and find out more about the book at http://www.fairislebook.co.uk It will be in the Shetland Times bookshop and elsewhere tomorrow, and you can also order it online. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41yxJiYkrYL._SS500_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malachy Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks breeksy, and I forgot to say - all proceeds from the book will be split between Fair Isle Bird Observatory and the Fair Isle Community Association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
