Not everyone realizes there's a section in bookstores devoted to just travel. It's by the road atlases (which I still like to use despite GPS's modern ubiquity--at least I won't be set on the wrong path or to the wrong address! Anyway...). When I browse the section, I focus on the travelogues and memoir-ish books. This is a travel guide I definitely want in the future though. It's gorgeous to boot 😎👌🏻! Any recs for the travel genre?

BethFishReads I love the travel section. 8y
Shemac77 Armchair travel is a super cool genre. I loved Peter Mayles Provence series. For ascerbic wit I go to Thoreaux. I strongly do not recommend Carol Drinkwater's The Olive Farm; insipid, self congratulatory nonsense. Out of Africa by Izak Dinesen qualifies too. There's more but I'm drawing a blank. More coffee for me. 8y
juliannebenford This sounds great! 8y

chlobee French travel writers are some of the best - Nicolas Bouvier, Ella Maillart, Sylvain Tesson, for example. They really capture the poetry and beauty of travel writing. I highly recommend them! 8y
Zelma I love Dervla Murphy especially 8y
Gonerogue I go classic travelog rec: The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Matsuo Baso. Originally in Japanese, there are several translations out with slightly different titles. ❤️❤️❤️😻❤️❤️❤️ 8y
