Compliments
It was encouraging to receive this feedback from two more readers about Journey to a Mountain.
"What a book – what research and what moving passages are among the pages. I have just read of the internment of the Bab’s remains and the passages of 'Abdu'l- Baha of the future vision of Haifa and Acca – the connection of the past to the present.
Had to write and say – it is inspiring piece of writing to the readers-- it is a must read for all the friends."
And
"I feel like I'm travelling along on a great adventure. You have a great writing style. The facts are amazing too. The journey His Remains had is captivating."
Selling out
Books are selling out in Brisbane and an order has been placed for more to be shipped from the United Kingdom.
I was happy to see on Facebook today that at least two readers have enjoyed the book!
From Barney Leith:
"I have just finished reading 'Journey to a Mountain', the intriguing and moving story of the decades long secret journey of the remains of the Báb from Tabriz in NW Iran, where He was martyred, to the golden-domed Shrine of the Báb on the slopes of Mt Carmel in Haifa in Israel. The story embodies a huge amount of research and is beautifully told by Michael V. Day and published by George Ronald. Definitely worth reading!"
From Tessa Scrine
"I have almost finished - thanks to three plane trips this week. It's a wonderful book."
Feedback
I was delighted to receive this feedback from a reader who obtained an early copy and bought a copy each for her two colleagues.
"I started reading the book on the flight home and was enthralled. I was confident about my purchases but it’s even better than I expected."
On their way
Some advance copies have arrived via air freight but most consignments are being shipped and will be arriving, for example in North America and Australia, about the end of February.
First copy
It was great today to be able to hold a copy of the book in my hands for the first time!
