Ocean Odyssey is an incredible new book by Carlos Fiesta that has been years in the making. The book chronicles over 30 years of adventures in Baja Mexico, written in conjunction with the complete story of his 2,200 mile solo circumnavigation from Los Angeles around the Baja Peninsula and up into the Colorado River in a 19' panga.
The published paperback edition of the Ocean Odyssey (232 pages - Fiesta Publications) will be available in bookstores and on-line sites later in 2010. For those who want to experience this one of a kind book prior to publication, the first 100 copies of the manuscript version are available now.
The manuscript version of Ocean Odyssey offers the same contents as the upcoming published edition, but will be sold in 8 1/2" by 11" manuscript form. Each copy it will be numbered, personally dedicated to the purchaser (or gift recipient) and signed by Carlos Fiesta. The manuscript will be sold and numbered on a first come - first served basis.
This offering is a unique opportunity and the perfect book for people who love either Baja, adventures or the great outdoors. It is also a unique gift for that special person who loves Baja or adventures. Once the paperback version of Ocean Odyssey is available for purchase the personalized manusript version will be discontinued.
One of the reasons the manuscript version is being released before the book version is printed is so Carlos can obtain reader comments, some of which will be included in the pages of the completed book.
To receive your personalized, signed and numbered manuscript copy of Ocean Odyssey simply click the yellow "Buy Now" button below, or send $20 per book (dollars, pesos, or checks accepted!) to Mexico Expo Travel, 75 Malaga Cove Plaza, Suite #3, Palos Verdes Estates, California, 90274. This is a great way to get rid of those pesky pesos that have been laying around since your last trip to Mexico. For any questions please feel free to contact Carlos at carlosfiesta@hotmail.com.
Please allow 5 to 7 days for your book to arrive after your order is placed. Carlos is personally putting together, numbering and dedicating each manuscript order!
