Breathin' Easy Travel Guide by Jerry Gorby
Publisher Jerry Gorby found himself at the library while planning a 300 mile trip, trying to find a reference book on companies who sell oxygen. The only thing he could find was 500 telephone directories. Jerry saw the need and began to fill it, calling the companies one by one to verify that the businesses did indeed supply oxygen to travelers. After over 5,000 phone calls, 30% of the listings were eliminated. What was left, made up the listings of the first edition of Breathin’ Easy. Because of constantly changing company data, Jerry has updated the original guide. The guide also provides general useful information for the person traveling with oxygen. $14.95
