I received this really fun message from a technical compliance manager at a heat pump installation company that’s vacationing in Benidorm and getting some light reading whilst sunbathing.
From Zero to Heat Pump Hero is a real page turner.

I just came across a very unexpected post on social media about this book:
“A few weeks ago I purchased and read “From Zero To Heat Pump Hero”. I did so purely out of curiosity. It’s a good read and definitely worthwhile for anyone who lives in a property that has an air source heat pump and isn’t a qualified heating engineer. It does a nice job of simplifying complex topics and providing sensible, practical advice. Despite what the title might imply, it does recommend seeking the help of a heating professional and the manufacturer at sensible points. So if you’re reading this post, have an air source heat pump, or are seriously considering getting one, then this book is well worth reading.”

@editor I'm hoping to buy these books but avoid supporting Amazon (I don't do Apple), both to support you and to NOT support them. Is there really no way for you to sell directly?
