Baja Bernie's new creative piece is out


Bernie has created a new.....
well, not sure what you would call it,
it is not a book,
it is not an album,
it is not a coffee table specimen,

I guess you would simply call it a compilation of a lot of personal items gleaned for, by, from and about all of the Nomads out there.

It is a refreshing look at life, through Bernie's eyes, but mostly in the words of Nomads.

Highly recommended.

I have captured an original, signed and everything.
Not sure just how the rest of you unwashed masses must go about procuring your own, but I suspect that info will appear in due time.

Or you could just be real nice to Bernie, by email, U2U or appending to this thread and if he is feeling gracious you might just be able to cop a copy of your own.

You have been warned!
Proceed accordingly.

Bernie mentioned earlier that it would only be available at the last booksigning. Maybe, since it hit the top of the New York Times best seller list, he'll have to expand distribution.

Thanks Steve!

Dennis, I confess that I used it as a marketing tool to help Keri with the turnout for the book signing and it seems to have worked.

I ordered only one hundred and I have about 10 left so if a fellow Nomad still wants one just send me a U-2-U with your state side address and I will ship them free until they are gone.

Could end up being a silly collectors item on Baja if for no other reason than there were so few printed and they merely said thanks to you guys...with no cost attached.

Hell, I might even keep one for my collection....who knows.

I'll put in a little plug for my pal Bernie. I just finished reading "Mi Baja". I really liked it.
I forgot that I picked up a copy of his "Nomad" book at the pyramid. I guess I'll need to read that now too so I'll be culturally relevant here on the board;D
