Massive book order demonstrates industry’s commitment to the future.
It’s more than four years since our children’s book – My Dad Does Demolition – went on sale. And the industry’s appetite for the book shows no signs of abating. In fact, we are in the process of fulfilling our largest batch of orders ever, with more than 500 books ordered in a single week.
The books have been ordered by a number of UK demolition contractors to support their work in their local community and to be used at school open days. And it is hoped that the book might help inspire the next generation of demolition men and women.
“I am delighted that My Dad Does Demolition continues to sell and I am delighted that it is selling in such huge numbers,” says co-author Mark Anthony. “The book had been reprinted four times before we switched to a print-on-demand service through Amazon, allowing the global book retailing giant to handle the book on our behalf. I was expecting to sell one or two copies per month by now.”
The timing of the massive order coincides with another book development. “I attended the ‘one year to go’ media event for PlantworX 2019 and I have agreed to donate copies of our other children’s book – My Dad Drives a Digger – for the show’s student day,” Anthony continues. “Despite atrocious weather, PlantworX 2017 attracted more than 300 children and PlantworX 2019 is hoping to increase that number still further, inspiring another generation of digger drivers and enthusiasts. And we’re delighted to be a part of that effort.”
