Winston's Photo Album

9/6/2022

My sister brought over the test sample of our newest book, and it's wonderful...

Back when we first started working on a book about Winston, it seemed impossible to create any kind of cohesive story because he'd been with so many different people on all kinds of adventures in several different time periods.  Then Marianne had the brilliant idea of making the book into Winston's personal photo album, with his favourite photos taken throughout the years, accompanied by comments that he had personally written in.  Which is exactly what we did.

The book starts with Winston's first photos with my contemporary kids...

..and continues with his many adventures...

..into more recent times...

ending with him meeting Saphira and falling in love. 
Picture
At the very end is the 'credits' page with all his friends that appear in the photos. Sixty friends in all, plus one very special friend....
Picture
 It truly is a wonderful book, with 187 colourful photos on 87 pages - not including all the photos of his friends on the last page.   Our biggest book so far!  Marianne did a fantastic job on it.  It's such a fun book, and so many of the photos just make me smile! Even after having seen all the dozens of test pdfs, and now the final printed book, some photos still make me laugh out loud.

There are still a few copies left, and they are available for $115.00 US plus shipping

It looks like Winston has had many adventures. And I used to think that he only hung out with Willie (laugh).

Please let me know when the book is available for sale. I definitely want to add it to my library!

Yes, he has had lots of adventures with many friends. Willie doesn't arrive on the scene until page 22.

I think you are going to love this one, and will definitely order a copy for you.

I will be ordering five copies, and one isn't currently spoken for. The books are rather expensive, since the printer charges by the page. So the price will be $100. US plus shipping. If you seriously still want one, email me and I can add another copy as the order hasn't gone in yet - martha@marthaboers.com

The printer's prices have recently gone up by 20%. I will honour the $100 per copy quoted to those already on my list, but the remaining three copies will go up in price accordingly, to $115.US plus shipping
