Shedworking book: bad news

Bad news I'm afraid for those of you looking forward to the publication of 'Shedworking: the alternative workplace revolution' in July. The book's publishers have been taken over by Harper Collins (it's actually more complicated than that but the detail doesn't matter) and HC have decided not to take on the Shedworking book. Obviously this is a blow, but I'm hopeful that a new publisher can be found soon and have already started the search (although if you are a publisher and reading this, please do get in touch).

Shedworking book now available to pre-order...

Don't delay! Avoid disappointment! Beat the rush! You can now pre-order your copy (copies?) of Shedworking: the alternative workplace revolution which is available at Amazon.

1,000th post - Shedworking book cover unveiled

Hard on the heels of the first birthday of the site and the second birthday of The Shed magazine is another reason to be happy: this is the 1,000th post on Shedworking and to celebrate here is a sneak preview of the cover of 'Shedworking: the alternative workplace revolution' which is due to come out next July with The Friday Project. It's not yet fixed in stone, but this is pretty much the way it will look. Personally I like it - what do you think?

Shedworking - the book

You've read the magazine, you've read the blog, and soon you'll be able to read the book. Yes, it gives me great pleasure on the last day of National Shed Week 2007 to announce that the intelligent and handsome folk at the UK's hottest publishing house The Friday Project will be publishing The Shedworking Handbook in July 2008. Not only will it feature all your favourite shedlike atmospheres, but it will also look at shedworking lifestyles, famous and celebrity garden offices, shedworking tips and advice and much, much more. It will be the perfect summer read and indeed Christmas present, as well as ideal for birthdays, or just something to enjoy in the lavatory, and of course marvellous for simply browsing. If you have a garden office which you're proud of (or indeed, not proud of) or an interesting shedworking tale to tell, please do get in touch and send me a picture of it. All those included will get a free copy of the book when it comes out.
