Customer Reviews
If you see a Traveler's Tales book -- buy it!
I have a growing collection of Traveler's Tales books. I especially enjoy reading the books on Ireland, Spain, Food, and the ones dealing with the spirituality of travel. The annual "Best Travel Writing" books are also among my favorites because they are so diverse. I hope the publisher will release all the volumes in this series as ibooks.
