Following a public poll, the Fly Agaric photograph emerged as the winner of the Book 3 cover poll and became the official cover of the book.
The other four finalists attracted plenty of support too, so all five cover versions are now available. Each contains exactly the same photographs and content, with only the cover image differing between editions.
Whichever photograph was your favourite, you can choose that cover version below.
In case you were wondering, the fly agaric was the winning cover choice.

The Photos That Nearly Made It
Peak District moments that didn’t quite make the final cut After sharing my recent Peak District blog, I thought I’d do something a little different. Because as much as I carefully chose the final photos, there were plenty more that could easily have made it. In fact,...

March Is Waking Up
If you are waiting for spring to properly arrive before heading outside, you might already be missing it. March rarely makes a big announcement. It just quietly gets on with things. Buds begin to open, flowers appear where yesterday there were none, and suddenly the...

Winter colour in the flowerbeds
This really is a fantastic time of year. It might still feel like winter has its feet firmly under the table, but if you slow down and actually look at the borders, there’s a lot going on. New growth is quietly popping up everywhere now, often when you...

pAckaging
Please note I will be sending books out from home and I am keen to reuse any packaging, so that deliveries can be a bit more sustainable. Apologies in advance if you wonder why your parcel may be in a 2nd hand wrapping.
Thank you.
Opening Hours
Because my book business isn’t my main focus for work and is hopefully a way of making a bit of extra money for my charities, any messages and orders I receive may get to me at funny times, so please be patient.
I will get back to you as soon as I can.
