Reviews

Although the subjects and tones of the essays in this invaluable guide vary from author to author, all the pieces are of high quality as both travel literature and practical assistance. Covering more than 60 countries, the book includes both predictable destinations (Costa Rica, Italy) and less popular ones (Burkina Faso, Hispaniola). Each essay is sandwiched between a brief introduction to the country covered and a "Travel Notes" section with vital information and a list of further reading. The essays are the stars, though, and some countries have more than one. These are not by casual travelers: whether tourists or residents, contributors all convey a deep and meaningful connection with the places they describe. Some of their experiences are truly unusual: Nerys Lloyd-Pierce worked as a camp cook on a cattle station in the Australian outback; Cathryn Evans toiled in an Icelandic fish factory. Many of the pieces are also distinguished by the ease with which their authors reveal personal details: Deborah Bosley contributes a humorous look at San Francisco, a city "for the seriously randy"; Janey Mitchell reflects on a close call with sexual assault in Colombia; and Anna McDermott recalls how learning that she was pregnant the night before leaving for Port-au-Prince colored her trip. The essays also handily integrate insight about the women's movements in their respective countries, levels of street harassment and what precautions women should take when traveling alone.

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.
