# Ebooks, part 2

I wrote a little while back[1] about e-books in general, but working
on producing ebooks for Standard Ebooks[2] specifically.

Well, my first production has been released! Which has been more
exciting for me than I thought it would be. It was a lot of fun
to work on and I enjoyed reading the book as well. The book is
'The Land of Little Rain' by Mary Austin. It is essays relating
to nature in the southwestern united states. They are creatively
told and most are really nice to read. In particular the chapter
titled 'The Pocket Hunter'. 'Shoshone Land' was also really good.

To get the ebook (free, both as in beer and as in freedom) you can
visit this address:

https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/mary-austin/the-land-of-little-rain

It is available as epub, azw3, kobo epub, and advanced epub. There
is also a link to the git repo if you happen to read it and find
any errors (submit a PR).

I am currently well into work on my second production: a novel by
Richard Jefferies titled 'After London'. It is an early sort of
post-apocalyptic novel or proto-sci-fi story. I am really enjoying
it a lot (I am in the proofreading phase currently, having made
most of the major edits to the source markup).
