As some of you may know, Ginnie and I wrote two books together. The first, which had already gone to print when she passed away, is due out in September:
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1857335279?ie=UTF8&tag=dr1-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1857335279">Dominican Republic - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dr1-20&l=as2&o=1&a=1857335279" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />
The publishers, Kuperard, are taking care of global marketing and distribution. The main outlets will probably be mainstream and airport bookshops in English speaking countries. For the DR, we provided them with details of the main book retailers like Cuesta and Thesaurus as well as bookshops like The Meeting Place in Puerto Plata and Paper Moon in Punta Cana.
They also need information on accessing the hotel/tourism/gift shop sector in the DR and I wondered if anyone here has any knowledge and/or contacts for this.
The second book - a more detailed and practical guide for expats - has just gone to the publisher for editing so watch this space.
