Peachpit Press (one of my favorite publishers) has just announced a new line of books. I’ve talked about Craft and Vision in the past and how I like their publishing strategy of shorter books on specific topics at a very reasonable price, and with FuelBooks, Peachpit is implementing a line that uses that same general concept.
They’ve started out with six titles, all from really good authors like Rob Sheppard and Nicole S. Young. They run a bit longer than the typical Craft and Vision title at 50-100 pages, and are being published at the same price $5 price point, so these look to be good value books with interesting topics. The initial run includes Photographing Fireworks, Travel Photography, using Black and White photography in Nature and Landscape work and a couple of others.
Definitely worth checking out. There are a couple I’m going to be getting so I can check out the writing and layout, but honestly, at $5, it’s something you can buy just to see if it’s as good as you hope it is. With PeachPit behind it, I’m pretty sure the quality will be there.
