Fantastic News Margus!
Sent a rather modest pledge! Great to see the English book going -and querying about it sometime ago-. I spent the 2013 Christmas week going through the ADV thread/diary and thoroughly enjoying it. Fantasic expedition with extensive documentation (that Pentax 67+audio+video+panoramas, etc) and writing.

what?
My copy came today. Very nice binding and printing of pictures and text. Quality paper.
I flipped through it, then spot read some pages, told my wife we should have taken this trip, and now I started reading it from the beginning.
This is not a coffee table picture book - it's a detailed expedition diary laced with extremely nice photos.
(If I had to complain, I wish there was a separate folio of my favorite pictures. Some had been posted on this forum.)
The book fascinates me in its details, and the directness of the writing. It's not "the view from a helicopter" and it's not a "sweet sappy ever-so-happy" travelogue. It's a real solid documentary and commentary of what it was like travelling around the world on a motorcycle. The negative comments are in there alongside the positive comments.
For guys like me, it's closest we're going to get to real thing.
*Very* happy that I dropped the $$$ on this.
Very sorry that I'm not about 40 years younger.

Cheers Dave, very nice review of the book!
That was the whole idea behind going for a book - we kept a nice blog for years of travelling, but figured this wasn't "it", all the info too sparse and without real aim or focus. A book captures everything more in one "go" so to speak. Glad you found it inspiring.
Would be exciting to hear from others as well!
We've been very busy distributing it to our backers, thankfully we managed to distribute most before Christmas, so should have a bit time to finally rest a bit before the New Year.
Happy Holidays to everybody!
