I received my copy today, in perfect condition.
Just skimmed through, I see lots of good reads coming my way.
Is there an audio version for my long drives, Bob could narrate it.
Thanks Bob.

Sorry. Only paper.

Audio and ebooks are too easily copied.
I have been enjoying reading the book very much.

I just finished reading it for the first time. Thanks Bob for putting all of this tobacco knowledge in a book. Now I can't wait for next growing season!

It took me a while to go through every page of this book. What a consistent reference on tobacco. Thank you Bob and the contributors for this colossal work of several years. We feel your curiosity in this vast world. The text is clear, the chapters well organized, the illustrations relevant. I love the personal stories through the book and the contributions of forum members. I, who am not a native English speaker, found it easy to understand this world of tobacco. I have read a few books in French and German, but nothing as successful and complete as this book. For me it is a reference book for all my questions. From plantation to processed tobacco. I now enjoy reading more complex topics on the forum and also transforming the tobacco leaf in a thousand ways.

A fascinating subject, a thrilling work, a great man.
Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words. I discovered that the most difficult aspect of writing the book was identifying the many details and subjects that I had to leave out, for reasons of space and cover price.

Does that mean a follow up book?

All right a second book in the making.

 

[deluxestogie]

Does that mean a follow up book?

I don't think so.

It is not easy to choose among all the topics which concern tobacco. The book and the forum are very complementary. It does not detract from each other.

The day I wrote a book. I will slowly smoke a good pipe while contemplating my work.

Hi Beto.

Excuse my boldness. I know that you have previously said that you would not publish in digital format ... is it still like that?

a greeting

 

[deluxestogie]

Correct.

 

[Biglizard1]

i have taken the plunge, and ordered a book for reading...
I am excited to receive and dive in.

 

[deluxestogie]

Real paper is good, and less ephemeral than digital vapor.

My thoughts exactly Bob. I now own both your books on tobacco.

 

[Biglizard1]

I have received my copy!
Touch and feel of paper is very satisfying. Easier on eyes to read than digital screens.

 

[Bot]

I look forward to recieving the book. I just ordered a copy.
Thanks Bob
