Do you know if his work available on the internet anywhere for those of us who live too far away to make it to his discussion?

You took the words right out of my mouth, April. I’m really interested in some alternative way to hear some insight on this? Maybe someone that goes can record it and put it out on mp3?
*nudge nudge*

Thanx Yaniv for the link.
I might just add that this guy own’s is living through writing theses books and sellings pictures so, giving it for free over the internet would make his life a bit hard.. (as if living in the Bank of Gaza is in’t enough already)
Anyway I’ll look into buying this book if its cheap enough for my bank account :-p
If I do.. I’ll give you a little review.

Hey, in case anyone missed it, G7 Radio Episode 2 featured Jon Elmer prominently. No photos, but very good commentary.

I haven’t got around to listen to episode 2.
I guess I should make the time!
