Hi everyone!

 

It’s finally happened, my book has gone to press. It won’t be long before it is in your hands. It’s taken a while to get here (including several years before the crowdfunding campaign had even started) but I am very proud we have gone from funding to publication in just over a year. 

 

I have read the book a number of times over the last couple of months and I am happy with the finished product and hope you will be too. 

 

As always I would like to thank you for your support. Unbound books only get published because people support them. My book would still be an idea if you hadn’t bought it, so thank you!

 

Some of you have bought a signed copy and this is where I am not 100% happy. My wife and I wanted to take a career break and have some time travelling the world which we have been doing over the last couple of months, I am currently writing this post from Rio de Janeiro. 

 

Unfortunately this meant there was no environmentally acceptable way for me to directly sign the books, either the books would have to get shipped to me or I would have to fly back, I couldn’t bring myself to do either when the book is about sustainability! So, before I left, Unbound provided me with bookplates which I have signed and will be sent with the book for you to stick in to it. This is something their authors often do but is not ideal in my mind. Therefore, if you get your book and would prefer a signature in it rather than a bookplate, just send me a message (LinkedIn, Twitter or Facebook - @therubbishgeek) and when I am next in your area we can meet for a coffee* and I will sign it. 

 

Thank you for your understanding on this, I hope you are happy that your investment in my book made it happen and without you I genuinely think this book would be stuck in limbo. 

 

17th February is the date you should get your book, not long to wait!
