The Salt Road and more...

I'm happy to report that The Salt Road has gone out into the world and is already, in a short space, sold in the UK (Penguin), Germany (Bertelsmann), France (Presses de la Cite), Holland (Luitingh) and Russia (AST).
There are lots of photos up on flickr.com from last year's research trip (see the link below) if you'd like to take a look and do a bit of exotic armchair travel. I can't take credit for the beautiful photo above, though: that was sent to me by my Dutch friend Liesbeth van der Bogaard, who leads desert treks and walking tours in Morocco. (Happy to put you in contact if you want a wonderful adventure holiday!)
