FYI - There was an failed attempt to do so by a friend of mine.  She organized photos and writings, but ultimately it was abandoned unfinished.  Still, perhaps over a long holiday break I'll work with her to get it print-worthy.

It was only 2 years ago but if feels like an eternity.

I know very little about the reality of publishing a book, but it's likely even harder than it looks, and it doesn't look easy.
And the economics of it are likely rather stark unless you've a big bag of cash to crush it with.

That said, the material is beyond question from the aspect of quality, full stop.
Definitely worth it.

IMO, great journeys should be documented, and the usual method is via a book.
But that's me talking from my chair.
Not all journeys are taken with a goal of being forever documented for all.

We saw the pics and read the story, sometimes that's enough.

I had that thought as well. You know Carlos didn't just feed him crackers and a bottle of water.
