Additional information
Is there a printed version of this book?
I designed all my eBooks to be mobile-optimized so that you have the best experience reading it on your mobile device and you can bring the eBook along with you while you travel. That means that unfortunately, the formatting doesn’t really work for print, so no, there is not, and will never be, printed versions of my eBooks.
In the future I endeavour to release a nice coffee table photo book of Japan however, so please look out for that! =)
Can I share the book with someone else?
These eBooks are many years in the making. They’ve taken me thousands of hours to put together, and tens of thousands of dollars over the years to finance on my own. I’m a solo-creator who runs a small business by myself, so I appreciate any support you can give to help keep this business running by purchasing one copy per person. Thank you!
