==Books==
Maslin's first book, ''Iranian Rappers & Persian Porn: A Hitchhiker's Adventures in the New Iran'', chronicled his journey hitchhiking from England to Iran and subsequent travels around the Islamic Republic. The book was controversial for its portrayal of some of the less than Islamic aspects of Iranian youth culture, which Maslin both witnessed and participated in. These included getting drunk on surgical spirit (96% ethanol), attending illegal parties where there wasn't a compulsory hejab headscarf in sight, and even viewing hardcore porn films with a group of anti establishment students. As a result, Maslin has been banned from re-entering the country.
Maslin's second book, ''Socialist Dreams and Beauty Queens: A Couchsurfer's Memoir of Venezuela'', is part travel memoir, part political thesis. The travelogue details Maslin's experiences Couchsurfing around Venezuela staying in the homes of people befriended on the internet (couchsurfing.org) before meeting them in person. Politically, the book explores the policies of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and the impact organisations such as the International Monetary Fund and World Bank have had on Venezuela and Latin America in general.
Maslin's third book, ''The Long Hitch Home'', details an eighteen thousand mile hitchhiking trip he made, travelling over land and sea, from Australia to England. The journey took him across three continents and through nineteen countries: Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, France, and England. It took Maslin over 800 hitchhiking rides to complete his journey.〔
