I was pleasantly surprised to find my books, The Golden Warisan Brunei Darussalam Volume 1 and Volume 2 are now available in the United States Library of Congress.
The two books are listed under one reference number which I have liberally cut and paste as follows:

My third book containing all the Golden Legacy articles for 2009 entitled THE BRUNEI HERITAGE is currently at the printing press and will be available sometime next two weeks at the usual bookshops in the country. I hope you will find the book useful for your references as well as for reading pleasure.
As usual, history teachers can email me or call my office to reserve their copies FOC. I have a limited number of copies which I give away, so the earlier you email me the better.
Comments
Sadly, our culture is slowly being lost with the progress of time, and I do wish the government would do more in sharing and constantly updating the population with Brunei's background. We cab't rely on museums and libraries, and we need to look at a more modern way of distributing this information.
Your books are an excellant start and you should do book tours and launchings. The book covers are good but hey don't really stand out and quickly overlooked for anyone browsing the store. Its a bit sad but that is how youths see things nowadays (books covers rather than content). Your third book's cover looks better compared to the last two, hopefully you continue to make them.
Membaca blog ani,seperti kitani menyelami zaman kegemilangan Brunei. Paling siuk bila tuan boleh mengintepretasikan bayangan dalam bidang penulisan. alhamdulillah.
Tuan... sejujurnya, saya meminati penulisan mengenai sejarah yang mungkin telah sirna di segelintir pemikiran generasi sekarang.
Saya secara ikhlas memuji atas keprihatinan dan buah fikiran yang sentiasa segar yang dikurniakan Allah kepada tuan.
Untuk mengongsikan hasil penulisan tuan kepada generasi mendatang melalui buku-buku atu, bukan keraja sehari dua.
Adakah buku-buku tuan dijual di dewan bahasa dan pustaka? saya mencari di sini (DBP) malangnya inda belureh.(saya bertugas di DBP (kebetulan). ataukah saya terlepas pandang? Terima Kasih atas keprihatinan tuan.
