TAI CHI BOOKS
Starting autumn 2023 and working into 2024, I have bundled paperback and ebook with online courses in order to make Tai Chi accessible and affordable for everyone. Buy the book and the online course will be free. Take a look at the first two examples that have now been made available.

This paperback book (or eBook version), when ordered below, comes with a complete online self-study course demonstrating all the exercises, moves and concepts. The course normally costs £45, but as part of the introduction bundle, comes free with the paperback order.

TRAVEL books (with a hint of taoism)
BY PAUL READ
INSIDE THE TORTILLA
Not all those that wander are lost...
Under the unforgiving heat of the Spanish sky and in a country scorched by tourism, one man goes in search of recipes for living another life, accompanied by a chef who can only look at the ground and a hound who always looks behind everything. They reveal another another history of people, food culture though the magnifying glass of one small town.
THE SLOW ROUTE HOME
Miguel has sold his truck and bought a mule. Everyone in the village believes he is crazy, but Miguel follows a wisdom far greater than those that mock him. Miguel's neighbours, his dog and the strange neighbour with the burnt trees are about to learn the benefits of going slow.

Why BUY DIRECT FRom THE AUTHOR?
☞ Conventional book publishing, either in paperback or as ebooks, is a business that tends to produce what the market favours. This means there is little room for books that explore less popular topics or adopt unusual stances. All the books listed here, and several on the other book list page are independently produced. Though they are available from major online stores, an authors cut is shaved away to very little. Buying from the author - where possible - means they (and not the big retailers) still get to see some of the money earned. 🙏
*Note - Paperbacks ordered are from an independent publishing house and so will take a few days to arrive. But with patience, all good things arrive.
