INTO A DESERT PLACE

A 3000 Mile Walk Around the Coast of Baja California

by Graham Mackintosh

"Mackintosh... makes a great traveling companion." — New York Times Book Review

"Always vastly entertaining, this is one of the finest pieces of travel writing to appear in years and certainly one of the best books on Baja ever published. Don't miss this title; it's that good." —Coast Book Review Service

"Mackintosh...is an intrepid writer who not only details his very exciting journey but also puts Baja California into historical perspective...An impressive collection of lore, adventure. Mackintosh has a very exceptional ability to involve the reader in his plights and his joys." —Book Reader

"Mackintosh is the…fair skinned, flame-headed Brit who, with no money to speak of, walked—read my lips—walked 3,000 miles solo down one Baja coast and up the other, carrying a 60-pound pack and surviving on cactus, rattlesnakes and the fish caught from shore on a small, telescoping Daiwa rod. In searing, killing heat, he painstakingly distilled minuscule quantities of life-sustaining water as he went, and he frazzled seven pairs of boots during the Odyssey...the book is, quite simply, the best Baja book ever published—a sprint-paced, harrowing adventure yarn that has all the elements of a classic film." —Western Outdoor News

"A truly uplifting account of what one person alone against the world can accomplish. It is also one of the finest pieces of travel writing of recent times." —Irish Independent
