Dear Club Secretaries,

Robbie Shone and I hope you are all well and enjoying lots of caving.

We are writing to you, to let you know that Robbie is bringing out his first coffee-table book, showcasing over twenty years of cave photography from all around the world.

The book is published by Kozu Books, based near the Mendips, UK. Kozu are a small, independent, family-run business that specialise in high-quality, limited edition landscape books.

Hidden Worlds will be a 200 page, 300mm x 240mm case-bound, thread-sewn book featuring a clothbound cover with a hand tipped-in image and letter foiling. The Special and Collectors Editions additionally come with a handmade slipcase and signed and numbered print. They are limited to only 100 and 50 copies each.

To make a pre-order, you can do so via the publisher for delivery to a specific address (www.kozubooks.com/books-new/hidden-worlds-by-robbie-shone), or you can arrange to pick up at the UIS congress in France, or via Starless River by ordering from Shonephotography.com (www.shonephotography.com/hidden-worlds-2/).

Special and Collectors Editions are only available to pre-order (deadline 13th May).

Standard Editions will be available after the pre-order deadline (end of May), but there will only be a limited number available.

We would be grateful if you could share these details with your members and look forward to seeing you at the UIS Congress or around the UK caving scene.

Thank you and all the best,
Gina Moseley & Robbie Shone

I can't see anyone objecting to that. Maybe get our existing books, maps and ephemera in order first?
