Whilst we're on the subject of inspirational books on the subject of DXing, you can't go wrong with 'Up Two' written by Roger Western, G3SXW! If you need a little inspiration to start chasing DX, either for the first time, or after a break, you should take a look at this.
I wrote a review, back in 2004, for eHam.Net
For me, the greatest thing about this book is the sheer enthusiasm that Roger has for DXing, Contesting and Amateur Radio in general. And you know what? It's infectious - once you've finished reading the book you'll want to get straight to the rig and chase down some DX!
Roger has some well-made observations on the way of life in the far-off places to which he has travelled, which are worthy of plenty of thought.
The book is not so specialist that it would put off newcomers or a more general audience and is written in an accessible and entertaining style.
Having had the pleasure of knowing and working with Roger personally, reading the book is second only to an evening in his company, telling radio stories and enjoying a beer!
This is a must-read for anyone who loves DX
Oh. The RSGB Shop doesn't seem to stock that either. Idiom Press do, though.
