The book 'Wildlife on the planet Furaha' (ISBN: 9780719845710) has been published today, December 3rd, 2025.
How do you get a copy?
If you are in the UK, you should know that the book just arrived at Crowood's, so UK bookshops will need a bit of time to get it onto their shelves. If you wish to order the book, you can do so directly from the publisher, Crowood Press (link below), where it is available right now. Note that Amazon will not have stock for another week, so if you want one quickly, get your copy through Crowood Press. Ordering directly from Crowood is also much better for the publisher and for me, thank you very much!
If you are in the USA or Canada, the publisher advises to use Blackwell's. Blackwell's will start sending out copies in just a few days once they get their copies. I am told they currently offer free shipping, which sounds good!
Both Crowood and Blackwell's have a long list of countries they ship to, so that should take care of most requests from the rest of the world.

Damn it, I wouldn't have ordered from Amazon had I known better 😢
Congratulations!
Incredible! How amazing that its all come to fruition. Youre work just on the blog has already been so influential in SpecEvo. You must be proud.
Davide: Not a problem; you can always order another one ;-)
Avardent: thank you!
Anonymous: Finding a publisher was the really scary part, over which you have little or no influence as an author. Am I proud? In a somewhat self-conscious way, I am, because I did not received any formal training in the fields of painting, creative writing, or programming. I wasn't formally trained in biology either, but was trained in medicine, and the scientific approach easily carries over between fields.
If the Furaha book is successful, I plan to base a second book on the scientific parts of the blog. As I wrote before, its title will have something in it like 'Newtonian mechanics in a Darwinian universe'.
Do you reckon it will be at waterstones (if not which other book shops in the uk)
Sigmund/Gert here : yes, I think Waterstone's will have the book, if only because Blackwell's is apparently a part of Waterstone's.
YES!! *happy dance* good to see its available. kudos!
I'm going to try Barnes&Noble before I to to Blackwell or Waterstone.
Very excited for this! I've followed your blog for years watching the book come together. I've my copy ordered from Blackwell. ^_^
Sigmund /Gert again: if you order from Crowood and mention TCP10, you get a 10% discount! Consider it my Christmas present for my blog readers!
Congratulations !!
I've already ordered mine from Crowood.
I placed my pre-order reserve.
Ordered mine a few days ago! Hoping it'll be here in time for Christmas, but it'd take a miracle.
Congrats on finally getting it published in any case! Was worried this project would always stay a net exclusive.
BlueGreen and Keenir: I hope the books arrive on time!
Thanks Gert, in my case, I received the book yesterday !
I'm keeping it for Christmas !
I wish you happy holidays and thank you for creating Furaha !
Gert,
Je levenswerk! Gefeliciteerd! Wij willen natuurlijk een geisgneerde versie met quote kopen. Ben zo benieuwd naar het boek en hoe het met jullie gaat. Misschien kunnen we weer eens ontmoeten?

Ha Bob en Antoinette, Dank je (ik ben een tweede, ander, boek van plan). Goed om van jullie te horen. Fotografeer je nog steeds? Kijk dan maar eens op htpps://lijnenlicht.art ; tekeningen op basis van foto's. Expositie in galerie Zône (Nieuwstraat Leiden) in januari (dwz ik hang ze op op 2 jan).
Congratulations!! I've been reading this blog for over 10 years and waiting patiently for the book all that time. As soon as it becomes available in the US I'll run out and grab a copy!
Anonymous: thank you! You can get a copy earlier than that, but I do not know how much extra postage that is going to cost you. If you order directly from Crowood in the UK and mention TCP10 you get a 10% discount.
