Traveling in place
Twisted Travels is available at all National Bookstore, Powerbooks, and Fully Booked branches. Cover price: P260. If you cannot find it in your neighborhood bookstore, let me know and I’ll alert the distributor. If you live abroad and would like to order it, email zeus.books@gmail.com and we’ll figure out how to get it to you.
The book is a compilation of my travel essays in the defunct (and sorely missed) Today from 1996 to 2002. A review in the Fully Booked magazine says these pieces appeared in earlier Twisted books—No, they didn’t (although the California essay was in my old blog). Good review though, thanks.

First ten readers to name the building, the people/events depicted in the facade and the street where the pic was taken each wins a free book?

I read the book fittingly enough on a plane last month. It was the time that flew by. There was just one irritating and tiring span of time during the stopover when I kept going around Narita airport looking for dental floss and I ended up not finding any. You’d think that would be basic along with other hygiene products. I guess the Japanese don’t like to floss. I wish I had just sat down and read.
There just seemed to be one glaring omission, though. After that post you had on the Salvador Dali Museum, I was excitedly anticipating a chapter on Paris but there was none. What gives?

I got the book last May, given by my x (broke up back in 2004 yet I’m still inlove with him) as a bday gift. It’s a fitting bday gift for someone who loves to travel & see the world and yet cannot find the time to do so – at least I get to “see” the word through your eyes. The book is an exact symbol of a traveller’s mantra, “Travel light.”

Hope this would already have an index. Some things sometimes remind me of specific topics you wrote and want to read them again but can’t remember the title or what Twisted book it is from. An index is very convenient at these times.
Incidentally, most books published in the Philippines do not have an index. Even the supposedly scholarly ones are not provided with one. Researchers would be absolutely grateful for one.

Went to Fully Booked Gateway and they don’t have a copy of you book there.
