new book: Direction & Quality of Light – it’s nearly there!
Yup, I’m pretty excited about this news – the galley for my 3rd book arrived this afternoon! It’s the final draft where I just need to go through it carefully again … and then it is off to the publisher and the printers.
It should be out in March or April 2013. I’ll keep everyone posted here. (Or just join the mailing list.)
I’m happy about the cover too. My favorite model, Anelisa. As someone told me, “in a ways she’s been the model face of Tangents (and a delightful one!), and it just seems the right choice.”
The book can be pre-ordered already:
| Amazon USA | Amazon UK |
 |
 |

As for an electronic version, I assume it will be available in iBooks. I’m not sure about Amazon’s Kindle because it would depend on what Amazon and the publisher can arrange. Same for translations of the book – it depends on what my publisher can arrange with other publishers internationally.
In the meantime, my previous two books are still available from Amazon, or an autographed copy can be ordered directly from me. And if you already have both books, and haven’t done so yet, a nice review on Amazon always helps. Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported me with this!

Hi Neil,
Congratulations!!! You are my favourite photography writer. All my knowledge about flash techniques comes from you. I can’t wait to get your new book. The review on Amazon? Of course, immediately.

Hi Neil,
Can’t wait for this next book!
Anyway, I’ve purchased the kindle versions of your two books. But when I downloaded the “Off Camera Flash” e-book, I was surprised that it’s not your actual book I’ve got but instead an e-book of Robert Deutschmann.
The address is down below so you could check also.

Can never get enough of Neil now if Steve Miller would just make another album!
Neil, congratulations, I look forward to getting a copy. Please, keep doing what you do.
Thank,

Hi Neil,
Just pre-ordered it on Amazon. After the other ones what else could I do ?!
Cheers from The Netherlands.

Congratulations Neil.
I already pre-ordered the new book on Amazon, hoping to have it in my hands on April 3, 2013.

Hi Neil,
First of all, really excited about this new addition to your collection. Congratulations!
I was about to drop you a message regarding the issue with Amazon listing for Kindle reported by Jomar as well… :)
@Jomar, if you go to the “wrong” book listing using http://amzn.com/B009LJCA0E and choose to get Kindle edition, magically you’ll get what you want – Off-Camera Flash Techniques for Digital Photographers by Neil! Looks like Amazon just screwed their internal inventory somehow.
Here is the link: http://amzn.com/1584289929
Hope this helps,
Ilya

Neil,
I have found that kindle books of technical/photographic boos just don’t work. Layout get messed up. The best are PDF versions. If you can get your publisher to do what Peachpit Press is doing that would be great.

Neil, I’m in the States on holiday from mid-March to 4 April when I head back to South Africa – PLEASE, please have this book done in time! It’s in my Amazon cart…
