ATTENTION! Although this store is still open, if you want the best deals, please visit my new shop!

I'm keeping this link open just in case people stumble on it. The only reason to use this store anymore is if you prefer using GoogleCart. I still haven't installed GoogleCart at my new shop. The links below still work and you'll still get a book if you order here, but you'll find better prices at the shop.

OLD STORE

There are two things you can buy at my WanderLearn store:

  1. Hike Your Own Hike: 7 Life Lessons from Backpacking Across America as an autographed hardcover or as an eBook (PDF). Quantity discounts are available!
  2. Paintings that I own.

There three ways to buy:

  1. PayPal: The safe, secure web standard. Use your normal credit card.
  2. Google Checkout: The "View Cart" in the upper right corner of this page is for those who use Google Checkout only.
  3. Amazon: Downside of ordering via Amazon is that you will NOT get an autographed copy. On the other hand, it's available for Kindle readers!

Buy Hike Your Own Hike from Amazon!

If you prefer buying my book from Amazon, please use the Amazon links on this page. Doing so gives me a small commission on your purchase, and you don't have to pay a penny more than you normally would on Amazon.

If you have a Kindle, download Hike Your Own Hike from Amazon for just $9.95!

If you want to help me out the most, then just buy the hardcover from my store, instead of Amazon. That way I'll see a greater amount of the proceeds, which helps when you're a writer!

The benefit of buying directly from me is you'll get an autographed copy (while supplies last)! If you buy from Amazon, the copy will not be autographed.

Either way, I'd love it if you buy the book! You're not just helping me out, but you're also helping the three biggest National Scenic Trails is the United States (the AT, PCT, CDT).

Therefore, even if you think the book sucks, you'll have supported the the Triple Crown: America's greatest hiking trails. So you can't lose! Thank you!

In mid-2011, you will be able to order an advance copy of my upcoming book, The Hidden Europe: What Eastern Europeans Can Teach Us. It will only be available here at a special discount, so bookmark this page and check back then!
