Thanks Craig. I just ordered it from Amazon!
Thanks! Just put it on my library hold list.
I just received a free copy of this book from "Read it Forward"! Glad to hear it is good. Have not yet read it.
Thanks, Craig. This future fan just requested it through inter-library loan. What a welcome recommendation. I have seen one film set in Bhutan -- Travellers and Magicians -- and read absolutely nothing, so this is an exciting find.
If anyone has read any other outstanding books about Asia recently, please share your recommendations (on a new thread, of course, without hijacking Craig's). Always looking for suggestions...
Hi Craig,
Thank you for posting about Bhutan's article
