Three friends and I are planning a trip ... and your guides have been invaluable to our planning process! Two of us also ordered your kayaker’s companion map and have found them so much more helpful than the standard Trails Illustrated!
• I have to say again....you really wrote a great book.
• As a creative professional myself, I have some inkling of the tremendous amount of time and effort required to produce works of this magnitude. While I hope you'll sell many thousands of copies in the years ahead, I can't imagine that you will ever be adequately compensated for your toil. Hopefully, there is some reward in hearing back from appreciative readers like me.
• STUNNING imagery. It really is way above anything one would expect to find in travel books like this. It's also written in a super helpful organizational theme, and tone.
• ... heading south on my own for a few months along the inside passage. Wish I had maps like yours the whole way.
• Love it. Can’t wait to read more.
• Your collection of bear pictures is amazing.
