New Tom Sheppard book - Quiet for a Tuesday

[BajaTaco]

Quiet for a Tuesday, Solo in the Algerian Sahara

This is super cool. As opposed to the highly technical books we've been enjoying from Tom Sheppard, here is a chance to go along with him on expedition, and just be along for the ride. He's an exceptional author and has a great sense of humor and the ability to cleverly convey thoughts and emotions that capture the adventure.

His latest book, Quiet for a Tuesday, solo in the Algerian Sahara, will be landing on NA soil shortly. The exclusive seller for the Americas, Overland Video, is posting a notice for pre-orders first here at Expedition Portal. The first 30 copies sold will be signed by Tom. Price is $50.00 USD plus shipping. International orders (except Canada) please request a shipping quote. (service at overlandvideo.com) Orders are expected to ship out the 4th week of November.

The problem with Tom's stuff is that I always have to order two...one to read, one to stay pristine in the library....

When are you guys getting the new Lois Pryce book?

-H-

 

[BajaTaco]

Thanks guys

HT, we're working on it. I'll be sure to post info as soon as I can.

It was 'quiet for a Friday' here last night, so I sat down after dinner with a nice glass of port (well, maybe it took two) and read Sheppard's new book. It was a great read and set us to talking about our next trip.

Filled with marvelous photography (some of which looked a wee bit familiar ) and anecdotes it's a must read for both the armchair expeditioner as well as the active overlander.

I may have to follow -H-'s directive and order a second copy.

Nice review Allen. The "next trip" is always one of the best things to talk about, isn't it? :safari-rig:

:beer: May we never run out of "next trip"s.

Yes sir, and one of them is yours

And one for me too please

Chris, did the books ship yet?

 

[Scott Brady]

They ship via air from the UK tomorrow. Tom has been busy signing them.

We will try to get them turned around ASAP!

Do you guys still have a few autographed copies available? I think I would like two. Is shipping and handling double for two books to the same address, or charged only once?

I was going to order only one for a Christmas gift for my father. My wife wisely said I should get a copy for myself, as it will save me $200.00 later. LOL
