Just came across this posted in FB, an excerpt from the book

Thanks for the link, even though it tried to give me herpes.

Interesting, but I had to stop skimming when I saw this:

I don't think Cambodia Beer in bottles was available yet, but I'm damn certain that Hanuman wasn't. And if you're going to steal pics from the net, why not use something like this: https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/the-walkab ... 263031680/

Any books about Sophie's? Didn't anyone sneak a camera inside? I'd love to see a picture of me when I was first taken there.

Or how about: "You Ain't Nuttin Till You've Been Banned By Howie - Way Cool". I'd buy that for a dollar.

@Hmmm yea even the pictures of GSM were of the more recent times, it wasn't that long ago that they changed the name of it to Phnom Penh Pub Street (before closing permanently), obviously they just googled pics or got someone in Cambodia to take them, as they're certainly not from the time period the author was writing about.

You didn’t mess much. After that picture there are just weird stock photos unrelated to Cambodia. And a picture of Gollum.

I don't know where he got the Cambodia Beer photo from. It looks a bit like Jim Cali 2's style (and frequent subject matter) but not one of his best.
