Thanks for that. I have the original but will look out for the updated version.

Not sure how it could be improved upon though!

Edit: Having followed the link I don't quite understand the website. It offers inscription but apparently no facility to apply request. In fact, I am not quite clear if the book is available yet?

Good to know that.

By the way, does anyone remember the television documentary that was made of his voyage? I spent some time trying to track it down a few years ago but without success. If anyone knows where I might get a copy I would be very grateful.

The book is available directly from the website in hardback, paperback and two e-versions.

The inscription text can be input at checkout.

You can read a sample chapter in Epub format or listen to Val reading the first chapter.
