Filling the gaps

Published back in 1997, Derek Ratcliffe's The Raven is a seminal work, telling us everything there is to know about Corvus corax and providing a rich evocation of one man's love for the wild uplands of Britain and their birds.

This book had the misfortune of going out of stock just as the POD process was about to go underway, so it has been unavailable for some time. The good news, though, is that I've just sent it off to the printers. So The Raven will be back, soaring black and resplendent  high above the crags of publishing, and available in print-on-demand format in around a month or so. 

This leaves just a couple of Poysers left to complete the set, one of which (rather unfortunately) is the hardest to of all to get in its original guise, The Natural History of Cape Clear. Apologies if you're waiting to snap this one up, but it should be available by the end of February.
