Why is The Complete Book of Barefoot Running so short? Good question.
There are a number of reasons. I'm not what you would call a good writer, so that's a big part of it. However, I don't think that is the main reason.
I think the conciseness of The Complete Book of Barefoot Running is a statement of what I really think and feel about running barefoot. It's not something you read about or think about. It's something you do. Humans evolved to run, and to run barefoot. We didn't evolved to run in overly cushioned shoes.
I think the key to really learning to run barefoot is to let one's body take over the activity and get the brain out of the way.
So The Complete Book of Barefoot Running might not be the biggest or best written book on the subject, but I think it is the best and most complete.
Thanks for listening.

Hi !!
i liked to have discovered your blog today !!!
this is really cool .
see you !!
Well of course it is short, it just needs to read:
'Millions of years of evolution moleded humans into mobile running animals and it didn't include Nike Tennis Shoes, end of story' ;o)
I like it short and concise. If you ever publish it, maybe you could just add a bunch of blank pages after it that could be used as a training journal or whatnot :)
I'd probably buy a copy :)
I just looked at the book, I figured it was short but not that short, nice. Maybe my version can be the second version
Caio Fernandes -- Thanks for stopping by. I enjoy your art work.
Rocketstar -- Your version would definitely be the expanded version.
Joe -- I like the idea about blank pages. That would definitely increase the price of the book.
