FOOD FOREST BIBLE - announcement

We have just approved the Food Forest Bible formats for printing, and we are going to have more versions than we originally planned for - here is why:

The Main book is HARD BOUND GLOSS and Premium White Gloss Paper with Full Color inside. Literally over 500 pages of eye popping-high-detail color. This amazing book is a coffee table quality, family keepsake and is made to last generations being pass down and used by your family.

However, producing a large format (8.5x11) book like this with 530 plus pages is very, very expensive to produce. Due to super high production cost of this book, we are going to release a soft-cover full color version as well.

As for my preferences, I don’t ever buy soft bound books because when I invest in a book, I want it to be of library quality. However, due to how costly the book is, we are releasing a soft-back color version as well (at the same time and at a price difference of about 50%).

In researching and writing this book, the goal was to produce something which would last generations. In order to make something last that long it has to be hard bound and printed on special premium paper to last the test of time. Thus, for those of you who want lasting heirloom quality publication, the hard bound version is for you.

The photographs in the book are high-definition and this is key when you need to learn how to identify the various plants and beneficial insects in the book.

The softbound does have the same quality images, but when you downgrade the paper a level or two and don’t publish the book as a hard bound book, the costs are significantly reduced. In times like these, when so much is in turmoil and in question, I want as many people as possible who want the book to be able to get the book.

My original idea was this book is not only what you sit inside with a great cup of coffee and plan your food security future with, but it is also made to take outside with you into the garden or plot of land and see your food stability dreams come to life.

Many hours I pondered over would I make this an eBook as well. Even with the hundreds of books I have published staying away from eBooks was something I did. When we are all thinking getting a homestead or even going off grid, or God forbid the whole system goes down, an eBook is going to be useless. Possible locked on a dead tablet or eBook reader - so I originally planned NOT to offer an eBook version.

But affordability is the key and IF you are willing to take a chance on the system staying up and operational and know you are going to have power when you need it, we are going to publish the eBook version as well.

In short you will have available to you:

  • Hard Bound, Premium Paper, Glossy Full Color throughout, and

  • Soft Bound, Bright White Paper, Full Color throughout, and

  • Full Digital HD eBook version

  • In a further effort to attempt to reduce the publication cost, we even dabbed with full color hard and soft bound color with B/W interior, but I nixed it. This is a book meant to be full color in HD only. Black and White just does not do this volume of work justice at all.

    At this moment it looks like we will be about 24 hours away from releasing the order links and remember, I am going to autograph and dedicate how you want - only 2,000 individual hard bound books. THIS WILL BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LINK and adds costs and delivery time, but we are willing to make such available for you.
