Great Review Excerpt

Foreword, Winter 2015
“Succeeds both as a well-researched account and a loving, humanizing portrait of this uniquely gifted writer and pioneer…Bown’s enthusiasm for his subject is infectious, and his research efforts are truly impressive…Those enthralled by tales of Polar expeditions will find much to celebrate in this lucidly written and well-paced biography.”

Different cover on different editions of White Eskimo

The US edition of White Eskimo arrived yesterday. I've said this before, but I'm always amazed at the subtle differences in the design, given that they're working with the same basic template and information.
