New Field Guide out: Free this weekend!

Last week I finished uploading and publishing another of my Field Guides, this one is for the slightly esoteric selection of Acacias:  trees that look like Acacias, that are called Acacias, and that have pinnate leaves and spines, and which might get confused with Acacias.

But Amazon made a slight bish with the cover:

Can you spot the mistake?

Yes - *sigh* - they used the Scabious cover.

Dratski!

I waited a couple of days for them to sort it out, but a sorting out was not forthcoming, so in the end I had to unpublish the book, then create a new listing. However, it was not all a bad thing, as I spotted a spelling mistake, and then I looked at the next paragraph and thought that, actually, I could reword it to make it a bit easier to understand.

Anyway, it is now done, and available for FREE download if you have Kindle Unlimited or Amazon Prime: and if not, well, it's only the cost of a cup of coffee,  and you need never again be confused by this group of trees.

However, as I like to spread the good word of Botany amongst my fellow iSpotters, I'm offering it FREE this weekend, Sat/Sun 21st and 22nd November, so hang on until then.

Oh,  and talking of the principle of free download weekends, I have noticed that Amazon, being an american company, have a rather jingoistic approach to their timekeeping.

So when I say "free on Sat/Sun" it will actually start being free when America starts the day, which is roughly 5 hours after we do... and it will continue to be free on Sunday night, long after midnight.

I expect to see, over the next few weeks, a whole pile of iSpot Observations of this group of trees!
