The Shepherd's Almanac — Special Edition Dust Jacket

Editorial
The Shepherd's Almanac II.

Self-published and co-written by a real-life shepherd that lives on the pastures of south Moravia in Czech Republic.  The book was an exceptional non-profit publishing endeavor that took us nearly 5 years to finish. It's an authentic insight into the modern Pastoralism. 322 pages of reportage, essays, poetry, academic studies and other obscure written word that will take the reader on a surrealistic journey that exists beyond the daily grind. It's a work of 22 authors, 16 translators, 14 artists and many other people who dedicated their free time and contributed without any financial reward. Although the book is self-published and we had very hard time collecting enough money to make it to the finish line, we did make sure that we only use the best materials and technology, that we can get.
