Troubles with Koos

I am really enjoying the text as well. I personally expected it to be of less importance than the beautiful photos… But even without any photos, I would have LOVED the book.

The Climax Collection

This book is what actually got El Gecko Publishing started. We've always had a thing for windmills, and photograph them often. At some point we noticed most windmills are Climaxes, and so the jokes began…  Fast forward to 2014: A cheeky little book called The Climax Collection: The Secret Life Of Windmills was birthed, but was too edgy and alternative to be picked up by a conventional publisher. So we started our own publishing company!
