Nautical Publisher Fine Edge Named
US Publisher for Dreamspeaker Cruising Guides
The Dreamspeaker Cruising Guides, the nautical book series on British Columbia by Anne & Laurence YeadonJones, will now be published in the US by Fine Edge of Anacortes, WA. The series will be co-published with
Raincoast Books of Vancouver, British Columbia. In 3 separate volumes, the Dreamspeaker series presents
boaters with a rich description of many of the most popular harbors, coves and anchorages on Vancouver Island,
the Gulf Islands, the Sunshine Coast north of Vancouver, and the Desolation Sound and Discovery Island areas.
The books are beautifully illustrated with original watercolor charts and photography by Laurence, brought
together with Anne’s easy-to-read information and local knowledge of each destination. They have been
exploring the coastal waters of British Columbia for the last 20 years on their sailboat, Dreamspeaker.
“We are thrilled to add the Dreamspeaker series to our nautical cruising guide business. Anne and Laurence’s
books are a perfect match for our collection of cruising guidebooks for the area.” said Mark Bunzel, Publisher at
Fine Edge. Laurence Yeadon-Jones added, “We approached Fine Edge as we saw the great job they were doing
producing and distributing nautical books covering the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia and Alaska.” Anne &
Laurence are now working on Volume 4 in the Dreamspeaker series which will add a unique perspective on the
many wonderful places in the San Juan Islands. The San Juan Islands, A Dreamspeaker Cruising Guide Volume 4
will be published by Fine Edge in the US and Raincoast Books in Canada for release next January.
The Dreamspeaker Series books are available now through nautical booksellers, West Marine, and BoatU.S., and
through FineEdge.com. In Canada, they are also available through many independent booksellers, Chapters and
Indigo bookstores. Review copies are available on request. An electronic version of this press release, a photo,
