Chris
Am very keen to get my hands on your book as everyone raves about it and I'm really wondering quite where to start with all the planning for our trip round the world - I'm really hoping you'll be able to get me started!! I ordered a copy on Monday 11th from your website and I'm sure it said despatch within 24hrs - have you sold out already?
Many Thanks
Lisa

I've heard about novelists getting an "advance" from the publisher - are we providing it?

"Beaujolais Scott est arrive"!!!! I opened the jiffy bag...then I did a stupid thing...the wife was saying at that very moment "I don't know what to give you for Christmas"...and I said "why don't you give me this little book that I ordered months ago" .Ah well it's only 3 days to Christmas day.....(sob).

Hi all, just back from Algeria.
Humble apologies for the delay in sending AMH4 advance copies - it finally got to the UK last Wednesday (heavy weather in the South China Sea we were told... ) and 150 were posted out RTW the same day.
So order away - it is actually here ;-)
Happy X
Chris

I received my copy last Friday, before Christmas. I'm already halfway through reading it. Excellent book and well worth the wait, thanks Chris.

I just receivd my copy today! Very cool to see my name in print in a "real book".
The only disappointment is that my web page and email weren't included! :-(
How will those big corporate sponsors be able to get a hold of me to sponsor me for a big motorcycle trip around the world?....
