It’s said that the sequel must be better than the original, so for my second hardback book ‘Stories Within Stories By Gavin Hardcastle‘, I went to extreme lengths to bring you a landscape photography book that’s even better than my first.

I lovingly crafted a collection of awe-inspiring images from my extensive career and wrote fascinating true stories to accompany each image. Some of them you might even believe.

About The Book 

After lots of great feedback for my first book ‘Chasing Awe with Gavin Hardcastle‘, I knew I wanted to write another book. Since then, I’ve travelled far and wide to bring you even more spectacular images and those all-important stories of what goes on behind the scenes.

Whether it’s a hilarious caper, a disastrous misadventure or an inspiring moment of insight, ‘Stories Within Stories By Gavin Hardcastle‘ gives you an unrestrained and brutally honest glimpse into the life of a professional landscape photographer.

There are days when I have the best job on earth and there are days when I seriously question my life choices. With this book, you’ll join me on my journey through the agony and the ecstasy as we hike through frozen granite mountains, paddle over searing swamps, quest through haunted forests, wildlife encounters and, of course, all of my favourite beaches, waterfalls and lakes.

More Than Just Stories and Photographs

With ‘Stories Within Stories By Gavin Hardcastle‘, I felt it was important to include some technical insights into how the images were created. With images that involved some level of technical mastery, I included a short explanation as to how I achieved the final result so that you can learn while being entertained.

I’ll Sign Your Book + Get A FREE Print

Your pre-order copy of ‘Stories Within Stories By Gavin Hardcastle‘ will be signed by yours truly and I’ll also include a free print of ‘A Fond Farewell‘. This early bird offer is only available for pre-orders. * The free 10×10 print will be inserted into the first page of the book and shipped at the same time in the same package.

When Will You Get Your Book?

The books will be printed in late April. I expect to take delivery of the books by late May and we’ll immediately begin shipping out the pre-orders in the order they landed. Delivery times vary depending on where you live with Canadian deliveries taking just a few days while overseas can be up to 19 weeks depending on your location. In many cases international orders arrive much quicker than that but I’m giving you the worst case scenario up front.

The Best Way to Support Fototripper

Purchasing one of my photography books is the best way to support the Fototripper Youtube channel so that I can continue to provide you with inspiring free content.

Shipping Included In The Price

I figured that the best way to make people feel good about the outrageous cost of shipping from Canada was to simply absorb the cost of postage and packaging in the price of the book. The price you see includes worldwide shipping to anywhere regardless of where you live. If you live outside of Canada, your country may impose duties when purchasing products from other countries. This is the responsibility of the buyer, not the exporter. Luckily these duties (if any) should be negligible.

Shipping Status

Here are the estimated shipping times from the date your book gets sent:

  • Canada – 3 to 10 days
  • USA – 3 to 10 Days
  • Rest of The World – 4 to 19 weeks (Sooner in most cases)

Why USD and not CAD?

Historically, most of my clients are in the US and around the world. Very few come from Canada, so I’ve set USD as the web sites base currency to accommodate the majority. In my 20+ years of doing e-commerce, USD seems to be the more globally ‘recognized’ currency for e-commerce. People from different countries are more used to seeing prices in USD than CAD so that’s what I went with. One day I’ll figure out how to add multi-currency to the site. That being said, you can still choose the ‘Paypal’ payment option and Paypal should convert the total into your local currency.

Why Does This Book Cost Less Than Your First Book?

Chasing Awe With Gavin Hardcastle‘ was a limited edition print run and there are only 50 copies left. It will never be reprinted. The offer on this page is a special offer for pre-orders. Once the books begin shipping out the early bird discount will end. Get it while you can.
