Popular Post Evil Genius Posted February 15, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) TRICHOCEREUS: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP - Printed edition Hi guys, it´s my pleasure to announce that I spent the year doing nothing but writing and I am about to release my book TRICHOCEREUS: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP in April or May! The book will have 200+ pages and contains 300-400 photos from habitats and collections worldwide, all the original descriptions (English & Latin) as well as new information and comments about every single species. I dug out hundreds of old cactus books and literature to offer a complete overview about the history of this amazing group of plants. I was lucky enough to get loads and loads of cool pictures. This book will be ALL COLOR!I spent so much time writing and preparing for this book and it´s like a dream come through that I am able to release it now. A lot my SAB friends here helped to get it done. Either by offering photos or by keeping me motivated and I am extremely thankful for everyone who made this possible. There will be a very affordable digital edition and I am also working on a few deals to get it printed. It´s possible that I will send a part of the hard copies to Torsten and SAB to make it easier for the Australian members to get their book fast and without having to import it themselves. The printed edition will be extremely limited and it´s possible that it will sell out very fast. I assume there will probably be around 500 - 1000 books at max.I started a crowdfunding campaign in order to pay for the costs of the printing. The campaign already reached half of its goal within two days and there only is a limited number of books available. If you want to get a copy of my book, you can get it through my campaign on Indiegogo here:Book: Trichocereus: The San Pedro Group Edited March 13, 2016 by Evil Genius 39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Genius Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hey Guys, thanks a lot for the kind words. I will start accepting pre-orders as soon as I know how many copies I will get. The number is somwhere between 500 and 1000, but I am still working on the financing. I´ll let you guys know as soon as something noteworthy happens. I am currently asking all kinds of printers for quotes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godiam Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hard copy x 3 for me, so I can have one in the 3 rooms I frequent the most.Fantastic work EG, and as people stated on FB, a crowd funding may be a way to raise more capital for more than the 500/1000 you have suggested, I can see the demand exceeding 3000 plus for this masterpiece!Cheers Godiam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zed240 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If this is turning into the pre order list you can count me in for a copy too! I applaud your efforts loudly and can't wait to get my hands on it! And I agree with Godiam, crowdfunding could be a good way to go, you could even set tiers and charge a bit extra for signed copies and stuff like that. Then you'd at least have the cash to pay the printers straight up front. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
