Straight answers
The details, without the guesswork.
What is free, and what will cost money?
All seven country ebooks are free to download now. The optional physical hardcover will have a price because printing, binding, and delivery cost money. Its final price is not yet confirmed, and hardcover checkout remains closed.
Is this leather or real gold foil?
No. The proposed format is a printed, matte-finish hardcover with gold-colored artwork. Genuine leather, metallic foil, ribbon markers, and lay-flat binding are not promised.
How do I use the free ebook?
Download the PDF and read it on your phone, tablet, or computer. Add notes using a PDF app that supports annotation. No printer is needed. This is a fixed-layout PDF, not an EPUB, an automatically syncing app, or a fillable form. Page counts vary by country and are listed beside each download; the Philippines file has 120 interior pages plus front and back covers.
Which country ebooks are available?
Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Laos. All seven free PDFs are available above. Hardcover production is still being confirmed; no printed edition is available to order.
Do I need the book to use the website?
No. Every regular Nomad Mac Travels planning tool remains permanently free. These optional one-time products do not use membership status, Founder history, authentication, saved trips, budgets, or private profile data.
