Die boek bied die leser ‘n rustige leunstoel-toer deur die gebiede se agterpaaie te kies en die hoofroetes te vermy. Natuurliefhebbers en diegene wat graag reis, nuwe plekke ontdek en lief is vir die unieke skoonheid van hierdie deel van die wêreld sal van die boek hou.

Dit is gedeeltelik ‘n reis-joernaal, ‘n roete-gids, ‘n vertelling van avonture en eskapades (veroorsaak deur Koos se onvoorspelbaarheid) en ook ‘n fotografie koffietafelboek. Die skrywer deel hoofsaaklik indrukke en belewenisse van die plekke waardeur hulle impulsief en sonder vooraf beplanning die gebied verken het, maar die boek dien ook terselfdertyd as ‘n informele toer-gids.

Die boek is ‘n uitstekende keuse as geskenk. Dit it is foto-publikasie van hoogstaande gehalte teen ‘n baie bekostigbare prys, en ‘n kolskoot-keuse vir diegene plaaslik of van oorsee wat vir Suid Afrika lief is.

A tongue-in-cheek look at some songs windmills might be singing when they think we aren’t listening.

The Climax Collection 2: The Secret Lives Of Windmills follows on the success of the first book in the series. Like its predecessor, it’s hard to categorise, as it combines elements of coffee-table photography, a bit of music history, and even a gentle armchair tour around some of South Africa’s back roads, because the photos have captions, showing where the windmills were found.

Quality photos of that well-loved South African icon, the windmill, combined with sing-along song titles, give it an amusing and unexpected twist. All this makes it the perfect gift for anyone who loves windmills, and is especially ideal for the man who is hard to shop for. The compact format makes this book easy to pop into a suitcase, or post overseas. It will be a hit with all those visitors who would like a reminder of our unique country, and with ex-pats, who look forward to anything that reminds them of home.

This book offers a gentle armchair tour, which generally avoids the main roads. It is sure to appeal to those with a love of travel, exploration, wildlife, and particularly an appreciation of all that makes this part of the world unique and special.

It is part travel-journal, detailing routes, adventures, & escapades (always made unpredictable by Koos’ erratic behaviour) & part coffee-table photography. It is also part travel-guide, with informative maps & info, although it is intended more as a means of sharing their impressions of the places they pass through, on random, haphazard journeys, than as a definitive guide to the places covered.

It is sure to be well received by anyone who loves Southern Africa.

In Travels Troubles With Koos, you’ll meet the travellers, and we’ll explore some wonderful destinations together:

• Meet lions and elephants in Addo Elephant National Park

• Go on a crazy girls-only adventure to Lesotho, getting lost on top of Katberg Pass en route!
• Spend a fun weekend with a bunch of photographers at Addo Palace Bush Lodge
• Camp in Tankwa Karoo and Namaqualand during a spring cold snap.
• Meander to Cape Town, discovering all sorts of fascinating spots and people along the way.
