William T. Cooper - New Book | Signed Bookplate | WIN Original Artwork
11 March 2011
Early last year Bill Cooper decided to put pen to paper. Invariablly such a decision results in a beautiful image but this time there is a book - Capturing the essence: techniques for bird artists, due for publication in early May. Now everyone can now share in Bill Cooper's thoughts and immense experience of his craft. William T. Cooper is almost certainly the best known natural history illustrator of the 20th century and a book by him on how to draw birds will be a landmark publication.
In conjunction with our 30th anniversary we will be tipping in a signed bookplate by Bill Cooper with every copy of Capturing the essence. The image on the bookplate was done especially for this promotion. Better still all purchasers will be eligible to enter a draw to win the original artwork.
In summary
*** All purchasers of Capturing the essence will receive an autographed bookplate by Bill Cooper.
*** All purchasors of Capturing the essence will enter a draw to win the original artwork. The draw will take place mid-2011. Bill and Wendy Cooper have been generous supporters of our business and Bill has kindly donated the original drawing for this promotion.
*** The local (Australian) edition is hardcover with laminated boards whereas the overseas edition is paperback. Both editions are priced approximately the same.
