Congrats and Well done to SK and also Butterfly Circle for the launch of the book

BTW I move this to World of Nature - as I feel it is more than kopitiam and deserve a place in this section, for all Nature lovers here to appreciate this thread

Thanks, Peng Eik. :cheers:
I'll be in discussions with Nature's Niche, SBG Bookshop and the Zoo as retail outlets for the public sale of limited copies of the book. The majority of the copies will be donated by my sponsor to schools & other educational institutions, public organisations, libraries, and so on.

Once things are confirmed, I will post an update.
