Over the course of the next few months, I'm going to post every page of my first book, Today I Ate Cow Stomach. You will need to be patient, because it's going to take over a hundred days. I'm going to post them on Twitter, on Facebook, and here, but not to every one of them every day, so you may have to hunt a little bit if you want to read them all.
Of course, you could just do the easy thing and read the ones that show up wherever you're most comfortable, that's fine. There will be lots of nice pictures to look at that won't require a consistent through-line to make sense.
You will need to bear with me for the first few days (after the first day) because there are a few pages of set-up that don't have many travel photos. My apologies. But if you can hang on until the action gets going, I promise that there will be many pictures to delight the armchair traveller, and maybe even a few stories to delight even the most discerning bookworm.
In this book's preface, I write about how we got to a place (well, that's probably more about how I got to that place; my wife was there for some time already) where we thought travelling for almost a year with our kids was a good idea, then move on to two hundred and fifteen pages of photos and stories from our time in Italy, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.
If you can't stand the suspense, are too impatient, want to buy the book, or get to the end of this one and want to see what happens later, you can go here to buy Books I through III (there is also a print-only edition that includes all three books with just a few black and white images), unless you are in or around Winnipeg, than you should order them directly from me. Send me an email or leave a comment below, and I will set you up with some excellent night-time reading.
With every read, I manage to find a typo or two, so if you happen to see one, feel free to point it (or them) out.
So with that, I leave you with the front and back cover.
Make your window as large as you can, and click on the image to see it larger.
Enjoy.

There are three versions of this book available: hardcover; excellent quality paperback; and lower quality paperback. The excellent quality paperback is the most recent edition, what I am posting here. The lower quality paperback is currently a slightly older edition with a few more typos, and some pages are laid out just a bit differently. The hardcover edition is also an older edition.
What that means is, the "best value" is the excellent quality paperback.
Love this idea. Can't wait to see it evolve. Great cover picture and I really like the title, sounds a lot like a comment from my family!!
