Re: Books about Cambodia
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.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2017 4:31 pm The Guardian has a Top 10 Books About Cambodia list, but it's from 2014.
You could make a new top 10 list for popular books about Cambodia 2017.
Would No Joke Howard's book make your list?
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 ).

small as they are, those commissions add up...Username Taken wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 1:38 pmUpdate: 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.Username Taken wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2017 4:13 pmYes 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 . . .
I have had to add the following to the website, so I guess I should add it here too:

Anyone read this, Angkor and Cambodia in the Sixteenth Century: According to Portuguese and Spanish Sources by: Bernard-Philippe Groslier? Could been an interesting perspective. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9745240532/
