Spider Field Guide Goes Bananas
Bananas? Gangbusters? Blockbusters. You know what I mean. A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia (by Robert Whyte and Greg Anderson) is going off! Off the shelves and into people’s birthday, Christmas and just-anyhow stockings. The best prices are online at the wonderful BOOKO. It’s a booming 468 pages, 1350 images, 78 families 381 genera and 836 species. It blows away expectations, fears, worries and blues. It simply makes people happy.
LinkedIn gave me $50 to promote it so I did here. Greg and I get $3 in royalties for every book sold, so it better work, or LinkedIn will have lost their shirt.
After the first printing of A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia sold out in less than four weeks (crazy popular or print run too small, you decide) the second print run has now also sold out and a third printing is on the way, ordered back in April, with corrections this time. All the new names in taxonomical changes and some little booboos dealt with.
It’s exciting. I will be getting a bunch for Greg and I to sign so if you need to keep up with the Anne Joneses copies signed by both authors are available for $50 each (including postage) if you email Robert Whyte with your address details. He will supply payment details by bank transfer or Paypal. Or call him 0409 055 325.
Is our spidery science progressing and kicking Croatian goals after the full time siren? You bet. Here is a parting gift, before you rush off and get your copy before even the third printing runs out. It is a new species of Lehtinelagia discovered at Robert Whyte’s spidering workshop during the Woodford 2018 Planting Festival. And don’t forget to check out Robert Whyte on Gardening Australia.
