What our readers say...

“One of the best trips I ever took was to Alaska. This book is a chance to visit again, with a variety of fascinating viewpoints, and without even packing a suitcase! Led to it by one favorite author, walking away with several new favorites.”

“A wonderful compendium of all things Alaska. Please publish one every year or two. Surely there are enough wonderful Alaskan authors.”

“I’ve never been to Alaska, and probably never will go, as it’s on the other side of the world from me, but this collection certainly ignited my own interest in the region. I’m pleased to note that Deb Vanasse et al are planning to make this an annual publication, and I shall definitely look out for future editions. I’ve also already downloaded longer works by a couple of the authors that I liked best.”

“I was pleasantly surprised by the writing in the Alaska Sampler. . . I’ll be looking up several of the authors in the Sampler to read more of their work.”
