These books are not yet published and do not have an ISBN although the books are available through POD - primarily for potential publishers to review. We could take the step of publishing with ISBNs quite easily but are seeking a traditional publisher, for the long-term. The intention is to replace the POD sales with traditional online distribution as appropriate although my popular website will continue to promote the books.

While the selection of photographs and the text is more or less complete, there is still scope to change the design and layout, add page numbering, contents page, publisher details, etc.

Note that the Flash previews are scaled down and use a JPG quality of 90% to keep the download time reasonable. The images used in to make the PDFs are, however, stored in a different, lossless format to maintain the best possible quality.
