Adventure Motorcycling Handbook.
Help,
I need to find a copy of the new edition of the Adventure Motorcycling Handbook. I am currently on the road in the U.S. and none of the bookstores seem to have a copy or have to order it which can take weeks and since I am not in any one place long enough I cant order it via Mail.
Any suggestions on how to pick one these up on the Road??? I will be in Ireland and the UK in a couple weeks, are they available there in the bookstores?????
Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh,
I'm in Scotland and if you like I will order another copy from Amazon and get it to you on your arrival in the UK and we can arrange payment later.
If that is any help let me know and I'll get it arranged.
Ian.

Hi Josh, hate to see a traveller deprived of an AM5. Those that ordered it here should have got them last week - US a couple of weeks from now I'm told. Amazon uk have it now (tho show wrong cover) and there's mail order off my websites or going for a tenner signed at HU UK, no questions asked (while stocks last).

Any bookstore should have them now. If you have to order it, it should only take a couple of days for it to arrive in store. I got mine from Waterstones. Some shops will no doubt have it on the shelf in the travel section.

Hi Chris
Seems the 5th Adventure Motorcycling Handbook is selling great. Amazon UK just sent me a mail saying book delivery will be delayed for 2 weeks
