Christopher Elliott is an award-winning consumer advocate on behalf of travelers, writing magazine features, a syndicated newspaper column, a website and more. His new eBook series called The Travel Troubleshooter is currently “in beta,” a version that is unformatted and therefore unpretty But to me, content is king, and each one is chock full of advance to make us all better travelers.
Every book in the series answers common questions about a specific topic, offers real examples of cases he resolved for aggrieved travelers and reveals the names and emails of executive contacts at travel providers. The first three volumes deal with car rentals, the TSA (which is about as fond of as I am) and travel insurance. He plans to add a new book each week, which is mind-boggling.
The Troubleshooter series will be available for purchase this summer, but it is completely free until May 28. He is seeking reader input, so if you download one of the eBooks and send feedback to elliottc@gmail.com, including style and grammar revisions, or contribute significantly to the creation of the series, he promises to send a free copy of the first version of the eBook and also credit you in the book. Or, if you buy a copy of his recently released book, Scammed: How to Save Your Money and Find Better Service in a World of Schemes, Swindles and Shady Deals, you’ll get a free copy of the first version of the eBook. As a bonus, if you buy Scammed on Amazon and write a review, he promises you get not only the series, but you’ll also have access to the updates for a year.
Wow! Thanks for the info. I am grabbing the eBook today. If it turns out to be as good as you say, I will add it to my blog, also.
Thanks!
