I thought I'd let you know that my new book, The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great, has just been published and has become available through www.amazon.com and www.amazon.co.uk in the last few days.

It will gradually become more widely available online. At the moment there is already a seller on www.abebooks.com and it has a listing on the Barnes & Noble website, but is not yet on sale there (it should be soon). If you want to get it through a highstreet bookshop, then you only need to give the author, title and reference number (ISBN 978-0-9556790-0-1) at the enquiry desk. It should now have a listing on their computer system, so they would be able to get you a copy within a week or two. Thanks for your interest! Andrew

Interesting. I've read your previous book about Alexandros' tomb and I liked it (though it didn't always persuade me). So I will surely read this one.
Thanks for letting us know.

More details on key points

Hi Parisad,
I have taken note of the points in my first book that generated most questions from readers. I have tried to put in more detail and more references on these points in my new book. The circumstantial evidence on the St Mark hypothesis in my first book is now augmented by a whole chapter on a fragment of a high status Macedonian tomb found embedded in the foundations of St Marks. I hope you will appreciate the more rigorous presentation of the evidence in The Quest. Best wishes, Andrew

Oh, I've never heard about this fragment of a Macedonian tomb in St Marks: sounds very interesting. I read your introductory chapter at the "alexanderstomb" site. At the moment I'm working on my Phd thesis and in my free time I'm reading a book about Kassandros (M. Fortina, "Cassandro Re di Macedonia", Torino 1976- I don't know if you know it) but I soon as I have time I will read the book and I will my impressions.
Thanks for the wishes :)
