Why our books?
We all love good books and the best travel guides. Because a good book is like a blanket: utilitarian yet warm and inviting. And there is more than one good reason that ours are selected very carefully. First, they represent quality information , not just a heap of words strung together by a wannabe writer who's glad to have gotten a gig while still in school, protected by the anonymity of the internet. We're undeniably in an age where the quality of information is suffering against the popularity of information....just ask Google and you'll see the most popular results first, not necessarily the right ones. It's a competition where the loudest voice wins.
So...where has all the good information gone?
The internet is noisy. Yet some of the best words ever spoken were quiet ones. And the reason the Lonely Planet, Frommers, Bradt, and Footprint brand names have become household names, just to name a few, is because they have been highly vigilant to provide unbiased reviews and solid content and go to great lengths to maintain their editorial integrity, which is sadly lacking on your average travel website, many being just a free-for-all for kickbacks and advertsing revenue of every description in ways many of us wouldn't deem imaginable. It's hard to know whether you're being informed or deceived, and that makes for a muddy meandering through mediocrity, which is not only hard to read but not pleasurable. Pretty websites obfuscate the reader even more, like a person who is listened to for what they look like rather than what they are like.
As you'd have noticed, good information is actually harder to find than in the last few years, because while the internet gives us anything, faster than ever (and don't we love it!) the reason people go back to high quality travel guides time and again is because the information is properly researched, well-written, and the writers are paid to be writers not advertisements. So when household names like Frommers and Lonely Planet were actually making money, they could afford to do it right. And it hasn't happened since, which is why we searched for the books written at the right moment in time, the golden age of travel guides and notational atlases...
Cherish what's truly beautiful, not just what's shiny.
Our books hark back to that age, but not so long ago that they're out of date. But importantly, the places that hold the most wonder and fascination for most of us are those sleepy hollows and distant civilisations that have resisted time's inevitable surge forward. Places suspended in time like a raindrop in a spiderweb, only beautiful for those with presence of mind and stillness of spirit to truly appreciate them. Places as diverse in culture as they are in history - Luxembourg to East Africa, the Galapagos to Rocky Mountain Walking Trails - aren't subject to the incessant changes and meaningless trends that weaken the constructs of our daily (or next business day) lives. We dream of their timeless essence. Because by their very nature, dreams have to be different to our reality. That's what makes them dreams. And whether you want to enter that dreamy state, reading while sipping a warm beverage in a comfortable chair or read on the open road while living the dream, or where there are no roads, our books will transport you to the places you'll love, and love to remember.
While each one will vary in condition, every book we sell is in at least an acceptable condition (and many much better) for extended use whether at home or on that trip you've been promising yourself for years. Hopefully once you've lived some of your dreams, you too will be like this book, maybe a bit worn around the edges, but have lived a life that absorbed the richness of the world around you, so you can feel that you have honestly used your time well.
