The "LONG" life of popular books:  As 2006 comes to a close it is happily noted that both the Cruise and Vacation Guides not only remain available on Amazon.com but have been classified by one seller as "collectibles." Though the last editions of the guides published some years ago scores of the guides' special travel TIPS remain as relevant today as ever.  It seems that savvy travel advice, philosophy and $$$$ TIPS often have no shelf life!  Even better,  greatly discounted copies of our travel guides abound. As always readers of the travel guides and Newsletter have instant email access to Steve and Patty to ask any book, newsletter or other travel related questions.

Travel author Steve Tanenbaum has discussed his special brand of bargain, global vacations on 65 radio and T.V. shows, in lectures and in travel articles for national selling magazines. Steve and Patty have filmed and produced a series of Around-the-World travel videos for six million subscriber homes. Steve & Pat teamed up to write The Cheapskate's Guide to Cruises. Their Guide and Newsletter blend a unique sense of travel humor with indispensable and often ageless cruise advice that will save readers hundreds to thousands of dollars. Since their early retirement in 1999 Steve & Patty have been globe trotting an amazing SIX MONTHS per year from Kangarool Island and the Nile River to a cool swim in Lake Baikal in Irkutsk, Siberia and beyond!
