And I love that I won one of the club’s first competitions! My copy of the fabulous Galapagos: Islands Born of Fire (10th Anniversary Edition) arrived on Saturday and I love it! Corey published a fine review of this great book last month. I’m so glad I joined, and I’m looking forward to more great giveaways from the Conservation Club!
