Journal Entry 1 by zarahminor from Berlin (irgendwo/somewhere), Berlin Germany on Thursday, August 26, 2004
"In 1973 Matthiessen journeyed with George Schaller, a field biologist, to Crystal Mountain in the Himalayes, to study the wild blue sheep of the region called bharal. They also hoped to see the rare snow leopard, an almost mythical creature which Schaller once glimpsed on a previous visit. Matthiessen is a student of Zen Buddhism and for him this was as much an inner journey as a field trip. He succeeds well in blending the spiritual with the earthly and his book is an evocative account of a remote and timeless place and its people" Sunday Times.

Journal Entry 3 by Tunksy22 at Seddon, Victoria Australia on Thursday, April 11, 2013
I just found this book in Australia... nearly 9 years on from when it was placed in a red phone box (according to the Journal entry 2) and over the other side of the world! I've not finished reading just yet, but when I do I will place it somewhere in Melbourne for someone to find. I will post the details here of where it can be found.
