Once again I'll be heading stateside (for a short holiday visit). As many of you know by now, my brother (Fred) publishes climbing books and the Women of Climbing Calendar. As a distributor, he also distributes other titles and some DVDs. His website is http://www.sharpendbooks.com/
I'll be back in Korea for a winter camp in early January. If you would like to order anything from the website, let me know. Fred will give KOTR members a 25% discount, plus you get free delivery (in my luggage Jan 5) to Korea, though you're responsible to hook up with me or pay postage within Korea. You can pay me in won when you get your stuff, or use your US credit card through the website, but be sure to PM me and let my brother know on your order that you are from KOTR and get your discount/free delivery. Even if you order through the website, PM me so I will be sure to bring the books/calendar/videos.
Items that might be of particular interest KOTR folks include the CD audiobook (6 hours unabridged, read by the author) for The Rock Warrior's Way, Long Dong Trad Climbs, by Matt Robertson (you almost have to buy it for the name) a guidebook to Taiwan's 101 Finest Traditional Rock Climbing Routes, the guide for climbing in Northern Thailand, and a "comic book" style beginners guide to climbing, Betty and the Silver Spider, written by Craig Luebben and illustrated by Jeremy Collins. It focuses on the basics, including equipment, terminology, (Western) gym etiquette, saftety, training etc. The Rock Warrior's Way, discussed on the Samurai thread (http://www.koreaontherocks.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3827&posted=1#post3827) is also available.
Winter in Korea is a great time to read, pop in a video, or head to Thailand!!
