.On the Road to Mr. Right
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Belinda Jones

July 01, 2004
Like Belinda Jones' previous and following books, I loved every minute. What I don't understand is why people think the characters and plot are unbelievable and how conceited Belinda is for naming a character after herself...Hmmm...could it be that this is autobiographical?? Well I never...

.Good Guide to Dog Friendly Pubs, Hotels and B and Bs
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
from: Ebury Press

February 01, 2007
Either not many places in Britain allow dogs or this guide just doesn't have enough information. Some areas are well covered but some have pitifully few entries (London in particular). Also many of the hotels listed say dogs are allowed in bedrooms only but must be accompanied at all times. How are you supposed to make that work? Hardly any B&Bs are listed
Good guides are generally excellent and this is a great idea but just needs to be more comprehensive.

.This Is London (This Is . . .)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Miroslav Sasek

June 25, 2004
I am so pleased that the "This Is" series of books by Miroslav Sasek are back in print. Elsewhere, the comments on Sasek's work have been "only good for children up to 3 years!" Well, I'm in my fifties and I intend to collect the ones I most enjoyed as a child, such as This Is San Francisco and This Is Rome. In an age of electronic wizardry Sasek's books stand out as a reminder of a time when books were the chief form of entertainment and education.

Sasek's art and wit are truly original and unique. He manages to take the reader on a journey through both the landmarks of his subject and the everday minutiae that makes up a country and its culture. Each book is a remarkable achievement.

It must be remembered that the ... Read More:

.Travels with Charley: In Search of America (Penguin Modern Classics)
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: John Steinbeck

March 01, 2001
(4.5 stars) When John Steinbeck obeys a life-long urge to drive from coast to coast in 1960, he little anticipates the variety of the "American experience." Beginning in Maine and traveling along the northern states through Wisconsin, the Badlands, Montana, and all places in between, to Washington and Oregon, Steinbeck then decides to visit his childhood community of Salinas, in northern California. After meeting with friends there, though many have died, he then drives southward through the length of California and then eastward through the southwest desert to Texas, Louisiana, and eventually up to Virginia before returning to New York.

Carrying the reader along with him as he reconstructs this journey for publication in 1962, Steinbeck ... Read More:

.Mapping London: Making Sense of the City
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Simon Foxell

September 01, 2007
This is a beautiful book, worthy of pride-of-place on your coffee table or your library shelf. If you're a "map person," you will relish hundreds of illustrations published between the covers. These generously-sized images give you a real opportunity to pore over the details on historical maps, and the accompanying text will teach you something new.
It is an ambitious undertaking to publish a book like this, and Simon Foxell has certainly done justice to his topic. From the famous (eg Hollar's Panorama) to the obscure, the maps are presented in full colour with extended captions. Foxell provides historical context and analyses the role of maps and the information they provide. Open the book to any page, and you'll find something to delight your eyes and tickle ... Read More:
