@LeafyHistory your book sounds really interesting but I'm not getting enough feel of it to choose if I'd like to buy it. @helenczerski did an amazing job for her "blue machine" book, as a suggestion - it doesn't need to be that much, but so far, from you: I know it's cover, I know what it covers, I know one grey image. I don't know: the text size, the text content (interesting/ sciencey/beautifully or irritatingly written) etc; the way you've covered the content (bitty/sciencey/popular etc); 1/2
That's a fair cop! Okay...
My book is out today! 🙀
Here is an article I wrote about it for the Conversation: 🧐

@maiamaia @helenczerski Thank you! I don't think we have the edit button yet on my instance but I will remember this for next time! 💚
@LeafyHistory @helenczerski edit in #bookstodon tag, and any nature/wildlife/biology/uk history ones appropriate, and that's a perfect post, I do hope your book's as lush as it sounds <3<3<3
