While I was in Cambodia, November to December 2007, I spent some time at the village of Chong Khneas on the Tonlé Sap lake. I’ve finally finished putting together the book about the village & its life.

The book, Life on the Lake, is 10″x8″ (25cm x 20cm) which is not quite A4 in size, landscape in orientation & hardcover. There is no dust jacket, the cover itself is directly printed onto the hardcover with a durable matte finish. There are 60 pages & around 63 photos (though I can’t say I’ve counted the exact number of photographs).

Cost to purchase is $119.95 Australian, which is roughly $87 American according to today’s exchange rate. Please note that the American price is subject to rate fluctuations.
Postage is not included in the above mentioned price.

I’m looking to do an order of about 40 books, though that’s subject to interest. I’ll get that many if I receive 18+ pre-orders…. otherwise I’ll just get 10 for now & see how things go. I wish printing wasn’t so darn expensive, I’d really hoped to keep the sale price below $90 (Aussie). But then again, there’s a lot of work in this book; 4 weeks in Cambodia, hundreds of hours of RAW image processing, selecting shots, 2 weeks solid research for the text & then a couple of months working on the layouts & ordering.

Hopefully though, the work I put into this will help make subsequent books less stress to put together & complete.
