Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and are progressing into a merry Christmas Season!
2014 marks the 20th anniversary of Millwater Publishing's dictionary of farriery publications. It started with just a humble, saddle-stitched glossary with pen and ink diagrams and daisy-wheel generated master copies...
Since then, there have been many updates, expansions, and upgrades in production. Now it's a perfect-bound trade paperback or glossy hardcover with photographic illustrations. The content has evolved into more encyclopedic form, with extended articles and lots of cross-referencing for efficiency. Covering ground from basic horsemanship to advanced farriery, with a focus on practical application.
It makes me a little embarrassed to look back at some of the early editions. But they do serve as interesting markers to the eras in which each edition was published.
The current edition is designed to be a handy reference for horseowners, students, farriers, and other equestrian professionals.
I usually post promotional discount codes for the hardcover version on the Millwater Publishing FaceBook Page and Twitter feed. (I don't make those up. I just report 'em!)
Right now, Amazon is doing 30% off the trade paperback if you use checkout code HOLIDAY30
And, to celebrate 20 years of the lexicon project, I'm going to do them one better for Black Friday through Cyber Monday with 50% off the trade paperback when you ORDER DIRECT and use check-out code RXYKQG6P
