Ha,
it seems that book is worth quite a ot on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/SAVE-THAT-SONG-Conquering-Outback/dp/0731613341
while is on more reasonalble prices on other websites.
I am wondering if anyone knows of the existence of the ePub version of
it. I am travelling quite a bit and having it in my Kindle would be ideal.
Thanks.
Emanuele
