Vehicle Dependant Expedition Guide Reprint

[Bad Mojo]

I was looking to pick up a copy of this book for a while. But Amazon wants between $350-$710 for the book! So I started googling and came across a post over at Expo saying that the author is getting ready to do a reprint. I emailed the publishing company and got put on the waiting list. Here is that email address. It sounds like they hope to have the reprint done some time this summer.

I was in touch with Tom recently, and he was working on the last revisions. I expect it will be available soon, and it's nice to be able to get it directly from Desert Winds.

Correction: The £18 is shipping to USA. Not the cost of the book.

The webpage got updated recently to fix the confusion.

I was surprised to receive an e-mail directly from Tom. I had sent a generic e-mail asking to be put on a list if it existed and to my surprise I received a nicely worded e-mail from the legend himself. I look forward to receiving my copy.

I just ordered mine. How long did it take you to get it?

 

[BreckenridgeCruiser]

I pre ordered while he was still printing so I would not be the best comparison for an eta.

He seems very organized so I would assume a week to two and a half weeks would be a reasonable amount of time.

I've gotten my copy and started working my way through it. Alot of good information for the International traveler, shipping, borders, etc. Goes into detail about equipment, type, packing, etc.

I've enjoyed it so far.

 

[rideglobally]

got my copy, lot's of good info, wish i read this book before i started my build.

I would love to see this in an e-book. I like hard copies of FSMs and maps, but for this type of reference where I am likely to only use it at home (being realistic for my needs) I much prefer e-books.
