Add either of the books on this page for your shopping cart (regardless of the inventory status), and use the "Order Comments" field to let us know how you would like your book(s) autographed and/or inscribed. Upon receipt of your prepaid order, we will ask Ms. Bernstein to complete your inscription request at her earliest convenience.  As a working writer and busy hiker, Ms. Bernstein has a busy schedule and may occasionally require several weeks to complete a request. If you want a book that is simply autographed rather than personally inscribed, we may well be able to fill your order directly from our shelves within one or two days.

She has completed numerous personal hiking challenges, including New Hampshire 4,000-footers (48 mountains over 4,000 ft. in New Hampshire), Winter Catskills (34 peaks in the New York Catskills climbed in winter), and New Zealand Great Walks (9 multi-day hikes in New Zealand). She most recently completed the Smokies 900, a challenge which involves hiking all the trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
