We are pleased to announce a new nice book review of our recent title: Field Guide to Butterflies of the Philippines, just published in the journal Tropical Lepidoptera Research (2017, 27(2): 28). The review concludes as follows: "This book is certainly very useful for schools, research institutions, and universities, especially in the Philippines. As a person who grew up in the country, there is definitely a need for schools to have natural history books in their libraries and P. Hardy and J. Lawrence’s book should be in those libraries to help students, teachers, researchers, and citizen scientists in their subjects in biology...

Admittedly, this is somewhat outside of our normal remit, but this title is the result of an amazing body transformation by the owner of Siri Scientific Press, who (aged 46) dropped from an obese 46-inch waist to a normal 34-inch waist in just 7 months and who is now a competitive strength athlete at the age of 49 and with a six-pack of abs that would put many body-builders to shame. The most surprising thing...

It is always a pleasure to hear that our books are valued and used by our customers, whether they be general readers, students or academics. It is also encouraging to see an increasing number of overseas institutional libraries stocking our titles for research purposes. A quick search of academic citation records shows that many of our titles have been cited in the scientific literature to date, but by far the best in this regard is our title: Biodiversity of Fossils in Amber from the Major World Deposits, edited by David Penney and published in 2010.  It was reviewed in the...
