The Treehouse Diaries: The book Launch.

 

 

Considering I had a month to get a manuscript of 80000 words in, the book has come to finally come to fruition! What better time to release it than time for time- while I was building my arboreal dwelling this time last year. The book is packed full of seasonal wild food recipes and identification notes, how to build a wood burning stove, a composting toilet, a coracle, a clay oven and...of course, a treehouse. The publishers, Anova, have done an amazing job of bringing the book to life (a format like Adrian Mole in the woods, without the geeky teenage angst!). I have always thought that, although descriptiveness is a wonderful thing, a picture paints a thousand words and I have insisted that this whole escapade is heavily plastered with day-to-day images of life in the woods. Why not give it a try?

If any of you are in London on Tuesday the 25th May (this tuesday coming), do please pop into the Prince Albert Pub in Battersea (upstairs)  from 6.30pm onwards (just by Prince Albert Bridge) have a shot or two of my nettle beer and pick up a signed copy of the book from me, myself and I. Apologies for the shameless plugging, but I have since learn't that as an author...it IS part of the job description!

Hope to see you there!

Hey Nick, I would like to congratulate you on a fantastic project and cannot wait to read the book! Is there some way that I could buy a signed copy directly through you? Normally i would be down at that pub drinking the nettle beer but I can't because I'm in Tel Aviv. Wishing you a great book launch and let me know the best way to purchase this signed copy pls. Thanks !!

Hey Nick!

I would have bought your book a 100% sure. But tomorrow morning I'll take my bycicle and ride form my home (Lausanne, Switzerland) to India. And as my luggage is already too heavy I'll not be able to take it with me. But I promise you that when I come back you'll get my order.

Your blog is increddible, and I'll read it wherever I get to internet. I'll put in practice some of your tricks, I plan to feed on pigeons and rabbits + fish and maybe some crawfish during the trip.

Looking forward to read from your blog

H Lyn,

Thanks for the comment, It wasnt me- I was in Sussex, but cornwall would be a great place to do it!
