appearances on Jeopardy!. Harris would later expand this column into his second book, Prisoner of Trebekistan: A Decade in Jeopardy!, published by Crown Publishing Group in 2006, detailing ten years of tournament successes and failures. This book itself became a clue on Jeopardy! in 2009 and on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in 2011. His third book, a tongue-in-cheek guide to world conflicts, Who Hates Whom: Well-Armed Fanatics, Intractable Conflicts, and Various Things Blowing Up-A Woefully Incomplete Guide (Crown Publishing Group), was published September 25, 2007. Harris's fourth book, The International Bank of Bob: Connecting Our Worlds One $25 Kiva Loan at a Time, for Bloomsbury Publishing, was released on March 5, 2013. In 2008, Harris had been sent around the world by ForbesTraveler.com editor Jeff Koyen to review luxury hotels. On returning home, Harris used the proceeds from his luxury assignments to fund thousands of small loans in developing nations, mostly through the microfinance organization Kiva. He then spent much of the next several years traveling to meet clients in the field and see the results first-hand. In the wake of publication, more than 2400 readers and supporters have joined a Kiva lending team called Friends of Bob Harris, making approximately 250,000 loans totaling more than $10.5 million to help fund small businesses in over 100 countries (as of February, 2022).
