Editorial Reviews

According to results from recent surveys, sixty percent of Americans are taking no vacation at all or staying at home during their off-time weeks. That means that most of us have become fantasy travelers, leisure readers of others' far-flung adventures. There is no better way to indulge in this pleasurable (and remarkably inexpensive) activity than to grab a chair and wade into the essays of The Best American Travel Writing. This annual anthology, now beginning its second successful decade, places particular emphasis on the variety of world cultures and travel experiences. Like the best trips, this paperback surprises you at every turn. A paperback original.
