Jerry Barrack’s Magnum Celery Farm Opus
Jerry Barrack, the dean of Celery Farm nature photographers, has been taking photos of Allendale's nature preserve for more than three decades.
He has put together a "greatest hits" album as a Blurb book, which you can buy online for (hold your breath) around $125. Jerry is selling it at cost, by the way. That's how much it costs to print books in small quantities.
Note: Blurb sometimes has sales where the books are 20%-30% off and occasionally 40%. Best to wait for that.
However, Jerry is also offering a free pdf of the book you can download and view on your laptop or tablet:

The front cover — an aerial shot of the Celery Farm from many years ago — is one of the dozens upon dozens of keepers.
Me, I kinda like the back cover (below) as well.
If you love the book and would like to make a donation to the Fyke Nature Association, the group of volunteers that maintains the Celery Farm, go to the Membership and Donations page 0f Fyke'swebsite:
