You could make a new top 10 list for popular books about Cambodia 2017.

Would No Joke Howard's book make your list?

As it happens, No Joke Howard's book would actually TOP the list. His book was the Most Popular book for the past 18 months, though he has been knocked down to second place recently.

Also, I might add, that "Stop being a Bitch, Quit your lame ass job & Move to Cambodia by Braeton Howard" was the very first book that I sold (but I got no commission ).

Yes it is.

Please note that currently I have no affiliation with any book vendors (i.e. Amazon), so currently I make nothing from book sales. In the future . . .

Update: I am now an Amazon Affiliate member. That means that if you follow a link from booksaboutcambodia.com to Amazon and buy a book, I might get a small commission.

I have had to add the following to the website, so I guess I should add it here too:
DISCLAIMER -

small as they are, those commissions add up...
