I’ve updated the Extras page to include stuff left out of the book as far as Chapter Three, including, among other tidbits:
Page 9: Alex’s star is at 6501 Hollywood Boulevard, near Vincent Price, Ann-Margret, and a convenient liquor store.
Page 12: "Merv" is also a city along the Silk Road in Turkmenistan. Nobody told me this in school, but in the 12th century, Merv was the biggest city on earth.
More to come. Of course, some tidbits will only make sense if you buy the book, but most should be fun by themselves. Enjoy!
