The Fifty-Week Book Tour

Interview with Lincoln Paine.

Sea & Civilization is an outstandingly well-researched, erudite, yet readable book, well deserving of great sales, wonderful reviews, and a lengthy book tour ... but fifty weeks?  "Congratulations!" said I. "And now that you are finally back home," I said, "there must be many memories." (And tips for authors about book tours, too, I thought.)

And, as you will see, Lincoln Paine, author of Sea & Civilization, was incredibly generous with his time.
