It\u2019s the 70\u2019s. Boy meets Girl. They marry, and travel. Both have a thing for windmills, and photograph them often. At some point they notice most windmills are the “Climax” brand, and the jokes begin\u2026 Fast forward to 2014: They put it all together, as a cheeky little book called The Climax Collection: The Secret Life Of Windmills<\/em>, but soon realise it is too edgy and alternative to be picked up by a conventional publisher. So they sell a kidney or two to print it themselves under the label El Gecko Publishing<\/em>. Then they travel around in their dodgy 4×4 called Koos, to market and distribute it. The book sells like hotcakes, already into its 3rd impression. The travels give rise to other books too. The journey continues\u2026<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ specialty=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.3″][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ specialty_columns=”3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”3.26.3″][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title & Paragraph” _builder_version=”4.9.3″ text_font=”Muli|600|||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_2_font=”Muli|700|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”800px” max_width_last_edited=”off|desktop” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”40px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n We have something for everyone in the family.
