Encouraged by my recent publication, I have spent most of the last three days typesetting a book with all 112 of my tangle patterns in ready for my Zentangle Inspired Art workshop next weekend. I think it’s turned out rather well… which got me to thinking – would anyone else be interested in a copy (especially since several loyal followers have requested such!)?
Here’s a sample page:
As you can see, it’s mainly the information already published on my Tangle Pattern Gallery and blogs, but all in one place with a handy cross reference. The patterns are arranged alphabetically, with a gallery/quick reference at the back. There will be a CD wallet attached to the back cover to keep tiles in, and it will be wire bound so that it lies flat when open, and also will have room within the wire-o to keep your pen handy. It will be A5 in size and printed in full colour, with a total of 66 pages (112 patterns) and stiff glossy cover. Approximate price per copy will be around £5 / $8 / €6, p&p will be additional depending on your location.
I’d like to gauge interest so that I can manage a print run (and/or find a publisher!), so please let me know how many copies you’d be interested in. Please indicate if you’d be interested in an e-version, and if so which reader you use. Thanks for your help!
UPDATE 25-FEB-14:
For those requesting an e-version…
I have a formatted PDF version which is designed to print onto A5 paper and get wire bound as well as being useable on most [colour] devices. This is available for £3.50 and payable through a PayPal – you can pay in your own currency subject to PayPal conversion rate. Due to the low expected volume, I will be processing requests manually in the order in which they come. Once you have paid I will send you a personal link to the file which you can then download. This will be sent to to the email address you use for PayPal. Please do not share the file with anyone else – sharing deprives me of a much-needed income and is against copyright law. Please note that on greyscale screens, e.g. non-colour e-book readers, the formatting means that the book does not show up well.

For Kindle users, I am working on a suitable format – which means I need to start again, so I’ll keep you updated!

For all other destinations, please use this link to request your copy/copies – please state your country. I will then send you a PayPal money request by email taking into account the postage costs to your country.
There may be a small delay as I am personally printing and binding the books! If you’d like them personalised, then please pop your request in the email!
need to know the Usa price would like an ebook
As stated, US price roughly $8 – the e-version hopefully would be slightly cheaper and obviously wouldn’t incur p&p. Which reader do you use?
I have a basic pc no ebook at all I guess you wont sell downloads for pc users? Sandy
The PDF version will work on PC as long as you can run Adobe Reader or other PDF viewer
any link on your website takes me to yahhoo nothing there to purchase your book Sandy
Wow Neil it would be great to have one. I like your tangles and it certainly would be great to have them all in one place. Depending on how much the costs are for sending it to the netherlands I might prefer the e-book version.
Neil;
Sign me up! I would love this. Thanks, Judy
E-book would be great!
Hi Judy – please note the updated info on the post and follow the link to order your PDF 🙂
I love e-books and would be far more likely to purchase that than a bound copy and pay for unnecessary shipping and handling. Just sayin’.
Hi Jane – please refer to the update info on the post if you’d like to order the PDF version.
I would be very interested. Have had great luck with ebooks. I don’t use any particular ereader- just whatever the publisher is using.
I would love a copy, in paper so I can take it everywhere please.
I’ll have one ready for you on 15th 🙂
e-book or pdf file would be fantastic – no S&H – yeah that would be really nice
Hi Janelle, please refer to the updated info on the original post if you’d like to order a PDF version.
I’m in the U.S. I would buy an e-version.
Definitely would be interested in an e-book.
I would like to have both hard copy and an e-book copy. I use iBooks and Kindle.
Would def be interested. I use a Kindle on my IPad. I taught my first class today and I brought your quilt along that I won from your blog. Everyone was AMAZED by your tangles on fabric! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Oooooo id be really interested but wpuld depend on postage costs. The estimated price is brilliant x
I would absolutely be interested. Love your tangles!
I would be interested as well in kindle format or even PDF
Thank you for your interest – please refer to the updated info on the original post and follow the link there to order a PDF version – or hang on for a Kindle version.
I would be interested in a copy, PDF would be great, or on a disc postage and packing can`t be that much
Hi Kath – please note the update info in the post, and follow the link to order your copy 🙂
I think what you have produced is absolutely great. But I have been such a big fan of yours, I have all your Tangle patterns all neatly bound in a 3 ring binder. Good luck with your endeavors.
Best of luck,
Marguerite
