SPRING RELEASES: VELUWE AND ACHTERHOEK EN LIEMERS

We have already announced the release of the fourth, fully updated edition of Veluwe (in Dutch), which will be available in early April. For more details on the changes we are making, visit our website (in Dutch).
https://crossbillguides.nl/crossbill-veluwe-4e-editie/
In early May this year, we will also publish the second print run of Achterhoek en Liemers. A large team of test walkers and proofreaders thoroughly reviewed the original book and walked all the routes. Among the highlights they observed were the Large Tortoiseshell, Eagle Owl, Tree Frog, Smooth Snake, and many more. It was truly a pleasure to work with such a dedicated team to update the book. The new edition will be available in our webshop and in bookstores in the first week of May. For more details on the changes we are making in this title click https://crossbillguides.nl/achterhoek-en-liemers-2e-editie/ (in Dutch).
