Cheetah - Book Cover Shot "Survival"

Book Cover Shot... This is a finished copy of the cover of my new book, SURVIVAL ... I hope you like it!! This is a "print on demand" type book, produced by Blurb. I  have it online for purchase, the link to order your copy is below! It is available in hardcover and soft cover, with page quality options.
_______________________________________________________

Click on the above image twice to see the large size!

The images are full page size, with very little text.. a true
"picture book". We now have text info below, telling the
story, and all the tech details of each image. Each image
will be available for a print, minimum
16 x 24" in size., limited editions., 100 copies each.

I have changed my plan for these images and decided
to publish them on the web.


This is a landscape style book, 10 x 8.5", 40 pages.

For online orders, this is the pricing...


Soft cover  $36.69 + tax and shipping

Hardcover with Dust Jacket   
$48.19 + tax and shipping

Hardcover with Image Wrap   
$50.49 + tax and shipping


The lustre paper option has now been included 
the Blurb pricing.  A few dollars more, but the 
quality is excellent.

__________________________________________


For local people and for people who want the 
book signed, you can order the book directly
through me, I will pay the taxes, 
shipping, etc, and have the book sent 
to my home. You can pick it up here, or, I can
send it to your home via Canada Post.
These prices below does not include forward 
shipping.


Soft cover  $41.00
Hardcover with Dust Jacket  $53.00
Hardcover with Image Wrap $58.00

The above prices include the upgrade to Lustre Paper.


Payments may be made by cheque, email 
transfer or cash. Paypal, and credit cards are 
accepted with a 7% surcharge.


Over the next week or two, I will be adding 
details (notes below) that cover the "event" of each 
shot in the book... the species, camera 
data, how it happened, location, anything 
that I can describe to help my customers 
understand what happened while I was shooting.


I didn't want to do the text in the book, as the 
page size is small and I want the book to be
more about the image, rather 
then the story behind the scene.

Thanks for looking, if you have any 
questions, feel free to email me here...

  1. Thanks Ray your work is an inspiration to so many, I can no longer get out much because of illness, your photography has truly open a window to the world for myself and so many others who are disabled and electric wheelchair users, yet still hold a passion in our hearts for Photography, and enabling us to view once again such incredible animals as if for mysef, I was there with you viewing them by your side. Regards John.
