Exactly as you said. Nonexistence of reliable info on one hand and the presence of the "I think once I heard that ..." type of (mis)information is the main reason for the neglection of this land by tourists and overlanders.
Regarding the blurb and similar services, I know and use them, but they are not the right ones for the type of the guidebook I have in mind. As I explained in the project description, I have an idea for the design of the guidebook that will be very practical for the use on the field. Far from paperback or simple hardcover edition. So pre-ordered print is the only option.
Thanks for the idea about trailmaster, I will definetly look also in this direction once the writing is finished.
Right now the project is in fundraising stage. In order to finish the research and write, so the guidebook will be finished by the mid 2014, I need to raise some money. As you can see on the project page, right column, you can pre-order the guidebook and thus support the creation of it.
For the full transparency and as an insurance to the contributors, I have decided on a "fixed" type of funding, meaning that if the minimum financial goal is not reached, all the contributions will be refunded back to the contributors.
