1, 2009. It is entitled "The Third Tower Up From the Road", Santa
Monica Press. You can order the book from Amazon here: Third

"A perfect travel companion, Dolgin has friends (and the ability to make new
ones) all over the world, a droll sense of humor and an insatiable curiosity about
local history. Again and again, he introduces his readers to charming, unique
aspects of familiar and exotic locales, doing an excellent job conveying sights 'too
wonderful to be imagined'. A highly enjoyable read, this should charm any
sightseer, and inspire a number of travel plans" - Publisher's Weekly (starred
review)
"Kevin Dolgin's new 334-page paperback [...) is worth checking out. The book
includes essays on 60 topics that range from the exotic to the accessible, most
written with humor and wry observation." - The Salt Lake Tribune
"Like a cross between Bill Bryson and Robin Williams, it's surprizing that this is
Dolgin's first published novel, as he effortlessly ensares his readers with
irreverent accounts of his life on the road." - Etihad Inflight Magazine
Kevin is represented by Matt Bialer, of the Sanford J Greenburger
