Life Cycles of British and Irish Butterflies
Just to let you all know that I've created a website for the book I'm writing, where you can find sample pages etc.:
http://www.butterflylifecycles.com
The book comes out in October 2019 and I'll be making some noises (on Twitter etc.) soon about supporting the book, but wanted everyone here to get an early opportunity to sponsor the book - and thanks in advance!

Re: Life Cycles of British and Irish Butterflies
Blimey Pete! This book looks superb & covers all the life stages too which is largely missing from most butterfly books in this day & age! I am sure you will sell many copies. What is the approximate publication price of the book & is there a pre-publication offer too? Finally, is it a hardback book? Well done with all your efforts.
Lee Slaughter.

Re: Life Cycles of British and Irish Butterflies
Apologies in advance, but I just want to "bump" this thread since, in 24 hours time, I'll be tweeting about the book website to our 33,000 followers and don't want UKB members to miss out.
And so - if you would like to support a species - then you're more likely to get your species of choice if you do so now ... and thanks in advance!

Hi Pete..........I have sponsored your book/ a butterfly species and wish you all the best luck over the next 12 months with it! I have sponsored a species very close to my heart and spent many a happy day enjoying their company in years gone by.
All best wishes,
Lee Slaughter (Cornwall).

Re: Life Cycles of British and Irish Butterflies
Apologies for this shameless plug, but since many UKB members have contributed photos or helped with reviews, I thought you might like to know that the book can now be pre-ordered (and you get a £10 off the full price):

On Wednesday night I completed the final species description (Large Blue) and so this season is about completing the design, getting better photos and acknowledging any last-minute discoveries!
Cheers,

P.S. I did check with the site admin that it was ok to post![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Hi all - I thought I should mention a decision that we (the publisher and I) have made, which is that each species supporter will not only get their name in the book, but also a signed copy of the book itself for each species supportedPete Eeles wrote:Apologies in advance, but I just want to "bump" this thread since, in 24 hours time, I'll be tweeting about the book website to our 33,000 followers and don't want UKB members to miss out.

Do we still have to order a copy even if we've sponsored a species?Pete Eeles wrote:
