I've recently begun a crowd source funded attempt to self publish my Garlic Manifesto. 10,000 yrs on the history of garlic containing fact, fiction, folklore, myths, legends, recipes, quotes, artwork etc... Think "Salt" or "Cod" but a bit more personal. The story begins in Neolithic caves, makes its way to the Pyramids, proceeds through Roman and Mongol invasions, past vampires, onto battlefields and up to the present day.
Rewards for those who pre-order include a garlic poster I developed in collaboration with a wonderful Brazilian artist named Hegina Rodrigues, written acknowledgement in the book, or maybe I come and cook dinner in your home?
