The Society for the study of flies (Diptera)

The Hoverfly Recording Scheme is pleased to announce that there will be a new hoverfly book suitable for the novice published in August 2011.  The Hoverfly Recording Scheme has teamed up with ethical publishers "WILDGuides" to produce this all-colour introduction to hoverflies, which will provide illustrations of 154 of the the British fauna, including representatives of all genera.

The "Britain's Wildlife" normally series retails at £17.95 + p&p (appx. £20.00) but the Recording Scheme has reached an agreement where it will be able to market the book at a pre-publication offer of £16.00 inclusive of p&p. Arrangements for this are in hand, but in the first instance please let Roger Morris know of your interest in purchasing this landmark volume.

Pre-publication booking forms were circulated with the last Bulletin.

Non-members wanting to book please contact me at roger dot morris at dsl dot pipex dot com

UPDATE: We have found the job of preparing the book to be a lot bigger than expected and are running behind schedule. My guess is that it is at least a month late - we have a text and that is being vetted at the moment. We have a selection of photos but need to fill gaps. But, pulling all of this together and getting the design complete is going to be reliant upon getting things sorted in sequence, so I think it best to say that the final product womn't be out before late September.

Regards

Roger
