This is going to be a quick note to reply to numerous emails asking when the last day of our book sale will be.  The 50% off book sale will end this Tuesday March 3, 2009, because we hit the road again a few days later.

Now = 1 book for US$11 or both books for US$20.
Later = 1 book for US$22 or both books for US$33.

50% OFF BOOK SALE ends Tuesday March 3, 2009

There are many other announcements that I will send in a newsletter shortly after the end of the book sale including several public appearances and big changes to our trip and future travel plans.  At the moment I am swamped with deadlines and travel preparations.

There are a couple links to recent stories about us on the internet and a little video I put together answering a frequently asked question about where we write our books and work on the web site.  Yes, we are discussing a third book about Southeast Asia.
