Sarah Andrews takes her Brain Bag backpack to Antarctica

Customer Sarah Andrews recently went on an expedition to Antarctica and sent us some stunning pictures of her Brain Bag in use during her trip.

Sarah even sent us an autographed copy of her book Bone Hunter. (All of Sarah’s books are available at Powells.)

More pictures and stories of Sarah’s travels (what did she think of the Brain Bag, anyway?) after the break….


You can read Sarah’s illustrated Antarctic journey reports on her Web site.

Below is what Sarah wrote to us about using her Brain Bag in Antarctica:


I am returned from Antarctica and getting things sorted out here. One thing that didn’t need to get sorted was the marvelous computer backpack you provided for the trip. My other luggage fell to pieces, but not so the Brain Bag with Brain Cell. The Snake Charmer kept me from getting tangled like nothing else ever has, and it was incredible how much it held.
