E-Books
For Barnes & Noble Nook, Sony Reader, Apple iPad and many others
The e-book revolution is coming and it reached photographers in 2010 when Barnes & Noble introduced the first e-book reader with a color display, the Nook Color. Others will doubtless follow soon. And even now you can read e-books on devices like the Apple iPad and even an ordinary computer using Adobe's free Digital Editions software or by using the free EPUB Reader plug-in for Firefox.
I'm offering e-books in the open standard EPUB format, which is compatible with all major ebook readers except the Amazon Kindle. There are some converter apps now on the market that will convert ePub books into a Kindle-readable format: ePub-To-Kindle-Fire Converter is one, but it apparently only works with the Android-based Kindle Fire. Also, keep in mind that if your ebook reader has only a monochrome screen you'll be missing a lot in a book of mostly color photography!
Until I see how popular this format is, these will all be done manually, so please allow 24 hours for the email to arrive in your in-box and if you have more than one email address remember that the email will come to the one you associate with your Pay Pal account.

Loire Valley Travels
Back Roads and Châteaux
ISBN 978-0-9830664-2-2
My first book to be offered in electronic form is about a bicycle tour or France's Loire Valley, told in words and (mostly) pictures. 80 pages of text and photographs — 51 color and 12 black-and-white — about this remarkable and beautiful part of the world. Imacculately preserved (and fabulously beautiful) châteaux, picturesque ruins and glorious countryside landscapes — they're all in here in the tale of four friends traveling by bicycle over hill and dale, under sunny skies and through rain, past vinyards and, yes, llama farms.

Blue Ridge High Country
From Blowing Rock to Grandfather Mountain
ISBN 978-0-9830664-5-3
A celebration in photographs of the natural beauty of the proposed Grandfather National Scenic Area in the Blue Ridge Mountains between the town of Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain, NC. Sweeping landscapes, secluded waterfalls, endangered wildflowers and more.
This book was created in cooperation with the GNSA, an group seeking to obtain a federal "National Scenic Area" designation to protect this area from logging and other environmentally and economically harmful activities (most of the economy of the area is based on tourism). There's a video about the effort on the Wild South web page.
