BERL1N - A PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE

My photography eBook is now available!

This book is a collection of photographs, organised through seven themes, presented in such a way as to understand the city in a thematic way. As the blurb says:

'BERL1N - A Photographic Experience takes the reader through an experience of Berlin as an unknown, beginning with an Abstract look at Berlin as a completely foreign city, through to its Street presence, learning more about Berliners themselves, appreciating the Graffiti and Art of the city, appreciating more of Berlin through its Landscapes, grasping its excellent transit system and considering its past present and future through its Architecture.'

The ebook is priced at 3,99 Euros.

I chose to publish the book through the self-publishing company lulu.com, which will eventually be further distributed through to amazon and iTunes and other online sellers with its ISBN (9781291825091), though I have no control over when it is listed on those external sellers. 

A link to the lulu.com catalogue of the ebook can be found at BERL1N - A PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPERIENCE.

Lulu.com allows the user to change 'stores' to help with language and currency (i.e. purchases can be made in your local currency, EUR, USD, AUD, GBP etc).

I have also published through the Berlin self publishing house 'epubli' which lists the book only in Euros. epubli also has a UK site through which the book is also published and although the site is identical looking, it is a separate site to the German one and only lists the book in Pounds! (3.49 GBP).

One of the good things about the epubli sites is that they have created a preview of the first 10% of the book, so you can check that out at either the German store or at this link for the UK store.

The royalty structure is quite complicated, but basically as the author publishing through third party, I receive better royalties if the book is purchased through epubli or lulu.com directly rather than if the purchase is made from the third parties such as Amazon or iTunes.

The end result and look of the ebook is an ePub format which should display evenly across eReaders (as the ePub is a common format). The process of creating the book was quite a learning experience which I intend to write a little about at a later date.

For those curious about whether the book is available in hard copy, it is exclusively an eBook. A hard copy version is too cost prohibitive at this stage. 

For anyone that purchases the book, thank you! and please do leave a review of the book on the site from where you bought it :)
