New books, and three sleeps til the fair!

Things are ripping along over here at Wakefield Press HQ. We all know that the lead up to Christmas is the busiest time of the year, but this year we decided to challenge ourselves by bringing out a bunch of new books at the same time. Johnny in the warehouse is getting a workout!
First things first: you've all had a peek at Janis Sheldrick's superb Nature's Line: George Goyder, Surveyor, Environmentalist, Visionary by now, and bought a few copies for Christmas presents (not yet? Don't worry, let us help you out with that). This one has been flying off the shelves since it arrived late last month.
Then, of course, you've all seen Rodney Fox's joy at the final version of Sharks, the Sea and Me, an extraordinary autobiography about his extraordinary life. This one will be launched at our book fair extravaganza, which is only three sleeps from now.
In the last few days, we've also welcomed in stock of Liz Harfull's Almost an Island: The Story of Robe, which details the history of the Limestone Coast town alongside beautiful images (see the gorgeous cover to the left). There have been a lot of people eagerly awaiting the arrival of this title, with Harfull's Blue Ribbon Cookbook one of Wakefield's most popular titles from the last few years, and Australian winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, in the Best Easy Recipes category.
Last but certainly not least, there's also Don Loffler's Holden Days, the hardback reprint of the latest Holden title from Loffler's extremely popular series. Something to flick through and think about while the productivity commission rolls on.
