Buy the book
We are delighted to take orders for books to be posted. The price, for this full-colour hardback is £30: for orders by post this includes P&P.
We usually send a copy signed by both authors - please say if you'd rather not - and can add a dedication, if you wish.
If it helps you can use the order form here.
Cheques payable to The Norfolk Cranes’ Story can be sent to Chris Durdin at 36 Thunder Lane, Norwich NR7 0PX.
Though it's possible to order the book from any bookshop, those orders then come through to us. As there are several links in the chain, it's quicker to come directly to us. See list below for where the book is on sale in shops and visitor centres.
Face to face sales from the authors - without post and packing - £25. Please contact us.
For orders outside the UK, the cost is £35 or the equivalent. You can also contact us for bank details for payment by bank to bank transfer. We are considering setting up payment by PayPal, but in the meantime see online ordering below.

“Are you writing a book about these many years of adventures and misadventures with the Eurasian cranes? If not, please do.”
These words of encouragement were in a letter to John Buxton in May 2002 from George Archibald, who founded the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wisconsin and was its Director until he retired.
Nearly a decade after that encouragement, The Norfolk Cranes’ Story has been published.
