Our New Edition of The Challenge of Baha’u’llah

My book The Challenge of Baha’u’llah, first published 25 years ago, is now available from Stonehaven Press in a stunning commemorative edition!

The new version is revised, expanded, updated, and redesigned. It sports an exquisite fresh cover and easy-on-the-eyes typography. A thorough reformatting provides easier readability and even better ease of reference.

The Challenge of Baha'u'llah

You’ll find it at Amazon (amzn.com/189312410X) as well as our own website (stonehavenpress.com/books-1/the-challenge-of-bahaullah/).

This edition is the book’s fourth — and the first to have a companion ebook version. The first two editions were issued in 1993 and 1999 by George Ronald, Publisher (UK). The third, in 2005, was from Baha’i Publishing (US), under license from George Ronald.

A few years ago George Ronald, at my request, gave me back the publishing rights I had assigned to them under our original contract. They didn’t have to do this; I doubt any other traditional publishing firm would have done so. It was an exceptionally generous act by the company I consider the world’s premiere publisher of Baha’i books.

(Feel free to thank them, on my behalf, by buying multiple copies of every book in the massive George Ronald catalog: grbooks.com). Including their remaining stock of Challenge, which — for now — they still carry, along with my other GR book, He Cometh With Clouds.)

Stonehaven’s acquisition and republishing of Challenge is timely, since both the British and US earlier editions are nearing the end of their respective runs. (Actually, I think the US one may already be out of stock.)

The book has enjoyed robust sales for the past quarter-century, becoming a favorite tool for Baha’i teachers throughout the world. By picking it up, Stonehaven will keep this title alive and well for the foreseeable future.

The new paperback measures 5.5 x 8.5 inches, with a glossy color cover and 268 interior pages. It sells for $15.00 US (just like the former Baha’i Publishing edition). The Kindle ebook version is just $4.99.

Welcome to Stonehaven Press

Welcome to the all-new, completely redesigned and re-imagined Stonehaven Press website.

This site is now live, and will replace the original Stonehaven Press site at stonehaven-press.com. Not only will this one work better — it lets us easily implement all manner of changes to serve our customers and clients better.

As of today (25 January 2013), the old site is still up and running. For the moment, that’s okay. But we plan to redirect traffic from that address to this one.

Two reasons:

When we launched our original Stonehaven Press site in 1997, we designed it using “raw” HTML: the standard web code of the day. This site-building was a new experience for us, and we did what we still believe was Continue reading
