About this title

Synopsis

Stepping Out invites the casual walker to put on a light pack, lace up a pair of hiking boots, and set off on a journey through the countryside. Brimming with useful advice and helpful hints, and packed with engaging stories and anecdotes, it uncovers the delights and pleasures of traveling on one's own two feet. With a comfort-loving author as your guide, the reader will discover the ""how to,"" the ""what it's like,"" and the ""why you'll love it"" aspects of long-distance walking in Great Britain and beyond. With wit and wisdom, this candid, lighthearted guide speaks to everyone who has ever been tempted to walk a little further, for a little longer, on an unfamiliar path.

About the Author

A decade ago, Eleanor Berger was a hesitant adventurer who decided to try something new. Reluctant and wary, she gave rambling a try. She has been following footpaths ever since. Now, with more than 1,000 miles under her soles, walking both at home and abroad (mostly in Great Britain), this tenderfoot shares her passion and unique perspective with readers. The author is an essayist whose personal commentaries have been published in anthologies and magazines, and broadcast on regional public radio stations.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
