Business InformationHistory/background
Calluna Books began trading in July 1997 with our first mail order catalogue. Since then we have steadily built up our stock list & now aim to carry at least 2000 titles at any one time. We have a wide range of items covering various natural history subjects including birds, mammals, invertebrates, flora & general natural history of the UK & further afield including a selection in the Poyser & New Naturalist series. We sell through catalogues (2/3 times pa), by attending Birds Fairs incl Rutland Water in August and our new website as well as on ebay. Neil has a life long interest in natural history & spent 23 yrs working in nature conservation in the UK & South Africa. Since 1991 he has been based in Dorset but after 15-yrs working for the RSPB on Dorset heathlands decided it was time for a change. He is now spending his time developing Calluna Books, launching a natural history guiding service in Dorset (The Dorset Birding & Wildlife Experience) & leading overseas wildlife tours.
