Yesterday our Mistress’s new book all about our breed went on sale. As you know, we all appear in it, but then so do lots of others. It’s pretty awesome though we do say so ourselves. For once we’re going to let Mum’s words speak for themselves. This is what she wrote about it all on her own blog:
I am extremely proud to announce that The Complete Entlebucher Mountain Dog Book has launched today. This book is a real labour of love. ‘Hobby’ is just not a strong enough word describe what I do with my spare time. I have spent the last 10 years developing the breed in the UK and along the way become an accidental expert. What could have been better than to combine my love of this breed with my writing to produce the first completely breed specific book in the English language?
It runs to almost 200 pages of information on everything from the history of the breed, it’s development in the UK, caring for your dog and the sheer wonder of owning such an intelligent breed. If you are an owner it will help you know how to get the best out of your relationship with your dog and to manage their peculiarities and foibles. If you are thinking of getting a dog it provides all you need to know to decide if this is the right breed for you. If you are just a general dog lover, there is plenty to entertain and enlighten as well as 160 colour photographs. It’s also useful for anyone who might be thinking of breeding from their dog or who does not know where to start with introducing a puppy to their home.
To make sure there is an easily affordable option, the ebook includes everything that is in the paperback or hardback, but if you can stretch to it you really will be very pleased you’ve bought the hardback. Both the paperback and hardback are 7” x 10” (178 x 254 mm) and will look great on any coffee table!
For some reason in the UK the hardback is not showing up for sale but if that is the version you would like then please email me and I will get one sent out to you as soon as I have them. The hardback in the UK is £30.99 so I can sell it direct for £32 including postage. For postage to other countries please enquire first for a price – thankfully it is appearing on some Amazon sites as available direct from them but not all yet.
I don’t often gush about my work, but this book has me grinning from ear to ear! I know it’s more niche. I know I should be just as thrilled of the lovely five star reviews my latest novel is picking up, but I really am ridiculously pleased with how this has come out.
I can’t sign off this post without thanking all the wonderful people who have helped make this happen. I’ve been given access to photographs, knowledge, time – all of which has been very much appreciated. Thank you all.
One other thing, 10% of all royalties from the book will go to help pay the costs of the lovely Heidi who is in rescue care in the UK and help to make sure we can complete all the treatment she needs.
Why now take a look on Amazon now?
I know giving you what she said has meant I don’t have to do so much work today, but I see that more as smart working rather than laziness. Laziness would have been more Ari’s department. Anyway, that’s all from me today
Love Wilma
