We are delighted to announce the publication, in partnership with The RNLI, of a special, Limited Edition of The Lifeboat: Courage on our Coasts. This edition is bound in real cloth and quarter-bound by hand using the yellow fabric from the over-jacket or trouser of the all-weather waterproofs used by the RNLI. The book is presented in a unique pouch which is handmade in the UK from the distinctive red fabric and reflective badge from a decommissioned RNLI inshore lifejacket. The Limited Edition book and pouch are presented in a Lifeboat display box bound in navy cloth. Only 350 Limited Editions have been produced and each is signed and numbered by Nigel Millard. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the charity that saves lives at sea. For nearly two hundred years its volunteers have shown courage and selflessness in facing storm and shipwreck to offer assistance. Never taken for granted, these qualities of service transcend the centuries to ring as true now as in the earliest days of the lifeboats. This unprecedented new book is a photographic celebration of everyday bravery, compassion, and outstanding commitment in the toughest of conditions. From the Cornish coasts to the Shetland Isles, we join crewman and photographer Nigel Millard as he travels the length of Britain and Ireland, living and working with his fellow lifeboatmen and accompanying them on their rescue missions. For those Limited Editions purchased through Bloomsbury, a minimum of 20% of the purchase price will be paid in support of the RNLI.
