Ahoj, vstoupím do diskuse:)
It will be on level with 'Designers Manual' and 'Earth Care Manual'.
THE PERMACULTURE HANDBOOK:
GARDEN FARMING for Town and Country
by Peter Bane, Foreword by David Holmgren http://permaculturehandbook.com/
I think it's more suited for czech climate than any of the 2 others, and unlike Patrick Whitefield, then Peter Bane see PC principles as much more widely applicable than garden and landscape. Should be printed in February.
On translation/publishing; Radka has often regretted that she didn't translate the whole Holmgren book herself. Would have been more effective. She did go through all the various chapters, corrected and aligned them, and it was all double controlled by a CZ language graduate (in 2 cases a SK language graduate). All in all, we can only recommend to leave the translation to the publishing company. I think the best help would be to make a pre-sell subscription, perhaps with (100kc pre-paid?): This would make it much more attractive for a publisher to accept publishing a specialty book.
Good news: We have less than 50 books left; we have sold 950 copies during the past 5 years. (+Donated 50X20 book and game class sets to universities)
