Hi Jeremy,
I just got my first travel book published and is available on AMazon and other sites—Book 1 of African Quartet called “Overland to Cairo by Any Means” by Emerson Grossmith. It’s a travel biography of an overland trip from Nairobi to Cairo in 1982.
Blown away when my daughter sent me you website.
Many many thanks for your generosity of spirit and sharing. Its a wonderful find?
My daughters call me the ‘old fart’! As I’m reaching my biblical ‘three score years and ten’ I accept the moniker.
All this wadda wadda is to express my thanks from a pretty battered and jobless old photojournalist from the tip of Africa.
I did feel that I could donate a travel picture or two if you ever needed them, in lieu of moolah?
Just let me know. And thanks once again. (My daughter sent me the interview with Colin Thubron) Without a doubt one of my favourite travel writers of all time. I have ‘In Siberia’ next to my bed. Also enjoying Erika Fatland’s ‘Sovietistan’ immensely. Although for the life of me cannot remember which bloody ‘Stan’ in which?
Thanks for your note, Richard. I’m just now reading this; sorry for the delay. No worries about the moolah! Other patrons are helping subsidize the material so that it can be free for all. Glad you’ve found us and do keep in touch.
