We are undertaking a new venture as a publishing entity, and the main focus is coffee table books for the corporate, tourism and travel trade. Research shows there is a solid demand for gift, incentive, and souvenir photo books featuring destination highlights. Three books are now available for ordering:
1.Beautiful Greece. An Island Odyssey (ISBN 978-0-9784456-0-7) is our large format, hardcover gift book suitable for corporate giving. It is 10x8 inches (25x20 cm), and includes over 130 full colour pictures on 118 pages

2. Santorini (ISBN 978-0-9784456-2-1) is a softcover book, square 7x7 inches (18x18 cm), with over 75 full colour images on 66 pages.
To see the first 15 pages, just go to the Santorini Book Page.
3. Chania. Around The Prefecture (ISBN 978-0-9784456-1-4), is a softcover book, square 7x7 inches (18x18 cm), that has over 60 full colour high quality images on 60 pages. To see the first 15 pages of this book, go to the Chania Book Page.
Half the profit from the sale of these books will be donated to the special fund created by the Government of Greece for the relief of victims of fires and headed by former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Petros Molyviatis.
The fires of August 2007 devastated 670,000 acres of forest, olive groves and farmland, making it the worst fire season in at least 50 years.
The firestorms took 64 lives, and destroyed over 1,000 homes, 1,100 other buildings, and damaged many more in an area that affected the prefectures of Ilia, Messinia, Laconia, Arcadia, Corinth, Evia, Attica (the outlying greater Athens area)and Aitoloakarnania. It will take many years to recover from this tragic event.
The Greek Fire Relief Fund is maintained at the Bank of Greece as account Logariasmos Arogis Pyropathon.
More information including shipping cost information, can be found on the Greece page.
