It looks as if my publisher has designed a cover for the next edition of Hiking Trails of Nova Scotia. This book, which is scheduled for an October 2012 release, will be the largest yet published, including 60 route listing, 45 sidebar notes, and 30 hiking tips. It iwll even have dozens of pages of colour pictures, all taken when I hiked the trails in 2011. With introduction, preface, acknwledgements, and all the supporting material, Hiking Trails of Mainland Nova Scotia will be more than 75,000 words long.
The 9th edition will be the first time that every picture used will be one of my own photos. While hiking for this and Hiking Trails of Cape Breton last year, I snapped more than 11,000 images. Maybe I should not be surprised if they were able to find 100-200 that are actually half decent.
