21.01.2022 Imagine researching one of Australia’s most famous mysteries only to find that your own grandfather was part of it? After releasing Olof’s Suitcase - historian Chris Clark’s grandfather’s involvement in the search for Lasseter’s Reef was clear. But recently Chris has struck his own historical gold proving something else that Lasseter’s Reef may not have been Lasseter's reef at all. http://chrisclarkhistorian.com.au//lasseter-really-was-lo/ Olof’s Suitcase is a must-read account of one of the most notorious myths in Australian folklore. (Images supplied by Chris Clark).

09.01.2022 NEW BOOKS FROM OLD At Echo Books we can create print on demand editions from out-of-print books, even when there is no electronic file. If you are the author and have permission from the original publisher, we can re-publish, print, market and distribute out-of-print books. The process requires expertise but is surprisingly inexpensive. Here's what we do:... First we scan the book and remove blemishes and print artefacts. Next we load all the pages into our publishing software to build the book. Then we allocate and register a ISBN and create a cover for the book. Finally we create the new title with the distributor and order a print proof for author review. Once the proof has been cleared we can approve the title and place the book with the international online booksellers. Ask us to help you. https://www.echobooks.com.au/contact/

09.01.2022 To this day it remains one of the biggest mysteries in Australian history - the legend of the vast gold deposit at Lasseter’s Reef in Central Australia. Echo Books author Chris Clark (Olof’s Suitcase, 2015) has just revealed a startling new theory about the Lasseter mystery. When Lasseter convinced a Sydney syndicate of gold-seekers to fund an expedition in 1930 to go after a reef he knew never existed, he was motivated by financial circumstances. Chris asserts that Lasseter ...was neither mad nor delusional in telling his reef story, just suffering a personality disorder that caused him to falsify some of his personal history. Want the real explanation for what really happened? Read Chris' full reveal here: http://chrisclarkhistorian.com.au//lasseter-a-neurotic-na/ For lovers of non-fiction, Australian History, and mysteries, Olof's suitcase is a must read! Available in paperback (from $26.95AUD) and eBook ($11.79USD) https://www.echobooks.com.au/biography/olofs-suitcase/

07.01.2022 The Rise of eReading. Here's a great overview about eBooks - what's changing (almost everything), the winners (authors and readers) and many of the rest who are 'fighting for their lives'. Some small publishers are doing reasonably well and there are more books being published than ever. Echo Books is doing well because we have low overheads, great people and we can change quickly.... http://knowledge.ckgsb.edu.cn//brave-new-booksellers-ris/

05.01.2022 Happy World Environment Day! This year’s theme is connecting people to nature, so we decided to chat with Paul Maguire, Echo Book’s author of vegan ninja, about the environment and his suggestions for reconnecting with nature. Small things matter though and every time we recycle something, reduce our waste, walk or ride a bike, turn off an air-conditioner, light or some other electrical gadget we’re making a difference reducing fossil fuel use and a variety of pollutants.... If you can’t install solar power at home, buy green power from your electricity retailer. Read on to hear more of Paul’s suggestions, and get his environmentally friendly recipe for a delicious Japanese soba stir-fry. #worldenvironmentday https://www.echobooks.com.au/fo/world-environment-day-2017/
