The Devonian Period

Pierce's book, "The Devonian Period" was privately (self-)published a couple of months ago but recently we received a request to make it publicly available. Not that we were trying to hide it from the public but we didn't expect that anyone would shell out the cash to buy a hard copy (it's 64 pages and full color so it's not cheap). We were wrong! If you're curious you can download the PDF from the publisher site for free.

Pierce and I started work on it last summer during our visit to see Mom and Dad on the Island and continued to work on it from time to time on weekends. Here's the blurb from the back cover:

The Devonian Period describes a time in geological history that pre-dates the dinosaur periods. Animals and plants were beginning to emerge from the oceans to live on the land. The author, Pierce Bond, wrote this book to share his fascination with the amazing creatures of this period - some of which are our ancestors!
