A message from our only two-time guest, Sam Manicom!

"Like it or not, for those of us that celebrate it, Christmas is almost here. And the fun of choosing presents is rolling. Often a challenge, but... How about giving motorcycle travel books? Give someone you care about the opportunity to escape into the world with a book, Kindle or audiobook.

I of course would love it to be one of my books, but hey, whoever’s book it is, with the gift of a travel book to a friend or family member, you'll 'literally' be sharing the world with them.
You'll be sharing your passion and the incredible possibilities that are out there to be ridden, seen, tasted, felt and heard.

My books take the reader through the different continents of what turned out to be an eight-year journey around the world—and of course there’s the latest book, "The Moment Collectors," where you'll find 20 inspirational travel writers, many of whom you already know.

Copies are available from The Book Depository (with free worldwide delivery) and of course Amazon! You'll find the links for all the books and order options here: https://www.sam-manicom.com/books/

Many thanks! Oh and, they might answer the question 'What would you like for Christmas?'"

As a fan of Sam's books, I can recommend them highly. I have two in physical format and two as audiobooks. I suggest you get at least one as an audiobook; while reading them is fantastic, hearing them read by Sam is even better :)
