I've had my kindle since last January and am definitely a fan. So it was wonderful news to hear this week that The Jew with the Iron Cross is finally on Kindle. Amazingly there is a newer book by the same title, so if you want to get to Georg's kindle book quickly, here is the link:

If you still prefer the original paperback version and would like to start stocking up for Christmas gifts (I recall the reader who gifted 10 friends one Christmas) here is the book link:

A day at magical San Sebastian del Oeste

- Georg originally wrote the book on yellow legal pads, by hand, in German. The period during the writing of his memoir, was the only time he ever left his studio and stopped painting altogether.. As he completed the day's work he passed the pages on to me, and I translated them into English, editing at the same time. The manuscript was read by scores of friends and visitors to our Mexican B and B. Many told us that Georg's story needed to be told more widely. In July of 2006, 22 years after he wrote it, the book was published. On November 3rd Georg died at home.
