OnlineBookClub.org review of "Journeys of a Pure Naturalist" by Joe "JB" Billings. 

... The inclusion of maps, photos, and illustrations greatly enhances the narrative, offering visual insights into the places he describes and giving the reader a clearer understanding of his journeys.

... Each section of the book flows naturally into the next, making the reader feel as if they are on a continuous journey with Billings, exploring new terrain at every turn.

Overall, "Journeys of a Pure Naturalist" is a flawless work, both in its content and its presentation....

... With its perfect editing, immersive narrative, and visual elements, I would give this book a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars.

"More than a year later, sales of The Expendable are steady and strong. 70% of sales are Kindle books. I attribute no small part of that to your formatting.
