The latest addition to The Savage Files library is a joint effort, co-authored by my girlfriend Maria. Together, we have gathered together our favourite Spanish dishes and- after exhaustive, calorie-packed research- have compiled, translated and rewritten the recipes in easy-to-understand English. But this is much more than a cookbook. "Running With The Bulls" is illustrated with over seventy of my best photographs from my time in Madrid and around Spain... IN FULL COLOUR!!
Because Christmas is just around the corner, I'm giving this book away at stupid prices, just $US12 for the first copy, and $US10 for further copies in the same order. Postage is a measley $US3 within North America and $US5 for the rest of the world. AND this is a flat rate.. that is, orders of two, three or twenty books still go for that one flat rate PER ORDER!
BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!! Combine your order of "Running With The Bulls" with a purchase of"Everywhere but Missouri, Mate!" or "Of Walls and Men", and ...I'll pay the postage on the entire order!

His willingness to let the winds of fate pick him up and carry him in new directions shine through in "Everywhere but Missouri Mate!" This woven collection of stories ... illustrates journeys that few of us have the guts to take ourselves... the result is a long list of adventures.

The latest addition to The Savage Files library picks up where "Everywhere but Missouri, Mate!" left off, as my 15 000 mile hitchhiking odyssey around North America has come to an end, and I find myself cold and lonely in London. It is a tale of hardship and despair, of romance and intrigue, of hope and promise, of deserts and frozen rivers, hot Spanish nights and sunny Paris afternoons. As with "Everywhere but Missouri, Mate" it is a testament to the kindness and compassion of the human race, and the fascinating place that is this little blue and green planet that we share.
...Oh, and thanks for your feedback! I asked everyone who bought "Everywhere but Missouri, mate!" to give me their feedback, good or bad. Here's proof that I listened:
1) "Where are the photographs?" you asked. Well, believe it or not, I really didn't think there would be that much interest in my photographs. But I was wrong. So, in response to your request "Of Walls and Men" contains dozens of photographs (black and white, of course) from my travels.
2) Some of you said that the font style used for the contents page, and the chapter headings was difficult to read. Well, that was easy. I just used a clearer font.
3) A few of you said that the main font type was too small, so this time I've used a slightly larger font. Just half a size larger, otherwise "Of Walls and Men" would resemble a pre-school reader. SEE DICK. SEE PAM. SEE DIGGER CHASE SPOT.
4) One reader commented that by the last few chapters of "Everywhere but Missouri, mate!" it had started to become a big repetitive...then I went here, then I went there. I wasn't offended. Perhaps more people thought that, and he was the only one honest enough to say so. Anyway, I'm confident that "Of Walls and Men" doesn't fall into that trap. To begin with, over the course of this book, I often stayed in the one place for an extended period of time- three months in a small village in southern England, one month in the isolation of the Andalucian Mountains in Spain, several months in Madrid. Also, while "Everywhere but MIssouri, Mate!" was concerned almost solely with my own personal experiences, you'll find that the stories in "Of Walls and Men" (particularly the last ten or twelve chapters) are laced with the fascinating history of the countries that I travelled through. |
