What To Look Out For When You Re Buying Travel Books

Surely everyone loves a good travel book but sometimes they can be disappointing, more often, say, than a recipe or handcraft book. There are ways to avoid missing the bus.

Before forking out dollars for a travel book, ask yourself the following: am I in love with the idea of this book or the book itself? Take for example a book entitled “Gorgeous Morocco”. Are you in love with the idea of glorious Morocco or the book you are holding in your hand? To establish this you need to ask: what is the purpose of buying this book?

If you are planning a trip to Morocco and it’s nuts-and-bolts information you are seeking, then it is no good buying the incoherent ramblings of a traveling school teacher in the 1950's. It’s also no good being attracted by the photographs, because photos do lie and hardly constitute hard information. If you are simply keen on reading and learning about Morocco in general, then a book written from any angle will do, unless it is something completely off-beam, like a book written in the 1920's by a missionary, called “How I Converted Four Heathens In Morocco”.

If it’s useful travel information you are after, ask yourself: is this book up to date and properly researched? If you are holding a book called “Mainland Greece”, for instance, do a quick test. Think of a town in mainland Greece you know, such as Thrace, and see how quickly it takes to locate the section on Thrace and how useful the information is concerning accommodation, transport, restaurants, attractions, etc.

Easy-to-navigate handbooks with great indexes are just the ticket. They should be compact, so you can fit them in your hand luggage and cheap enough that if you lose them you don’t mind. The rule of thumb is that a few illustrative photographs are good – they show serious intent on the part of author and publisher to inform you – but too many photographs diminish the quality and quantity of the usable information. There should be concise historical nuggets and handy insider travel tips. There should also be complementary online resources listed for up-to-the-minute information.

If it’s not practical information you are after, but you want to feed your travel dreams and inform yourselves about countries through the ages then ask: who wrote this book? There has been a “colonization” of countries through travel writing. I mean that certain writers in English writing have become inextricably linked with writings about certain countries. They are quite simply the last word on the subject.

Ce qu'il faut regarder quand vous Re acheter les livres de voyage

Sûrement tout le monde aime un livre de bon voyage, mais parfois ils peuvent être décevants, plus souvent, de dire, d'une recette ou artisanat livre. Il y a des manières d'éviter manque le bus.

Avant de bifurquer dehors dollars pour un livre de voyage, demandez-vous ce qui suit : je suis en amour avec l'idée de ce livre ou le livre lui-même ? Prenons par exemple un livre intitulé « Magnifique Maroc ». Vous êtes en amour avec l'idée de glorieux Maroc ou le livre que vous tenez dans votre main ? Pour établir ce que vous devez poser : quel est le but d'acheter ce livre ?

Si vous prévoyez un voyage au Maroc, et c'est des écrous et des boulons les informations que vous recherchez, puis ce n'est aucuns bon achat les divagations incohérentes d'un professeur d'école itinérante dans les années 1950. Il n'est également pas bon étant attirés par les photographies, car les photos font mentir et difficilement constituer une information difficile. Si vous êtes simplement désireux de lire et d'apprendre sur le Maroc en général, un livre écrit sous tous les angles, sauf si c'est quelque chose de complètement hors-faisceau, comme un livre écrit dans les années 1920 par un missionnaire, appelé « Comment I converti quatre païens au Maroc », va faire.

Si c'est la course utile information vous êtes après, demandez-vous : est ce livre à jour et correctement documenté ? Si vous tenez un livre intitulé « La Grèce continentale », par exemple, faire un test rapide. Pensez à une ville en Grèce, vous savez, comme la Thrace et de voir combien de temps il faut pour localiser la section sur la Thrace et l'utilité de l'information se concernant l'hébergement, transports, restaurants, attractions, etc..

Manuels facile à naviguer avec des index de grandes sont juste le billet. Ils devraient être compacts, donc vous pouvez l'adapter dans votre bagage à main et assez bon marché que si vous les perdez vous ne me dérange pas. La règle est que quelques photographies illustratives sont bons-ils montrent une intention sérieuse la part l'auteur et l'éditeur désire vous informer – mais trop nombreuses photographies diminuent la qualité et la quantité des informations utilisables. Il devrait y avoir des pépites historiques concis et des conseils de voyage très pratique d'initiés. Il devrait y avoir aussi des ressources en ligne complémentaires énumérés pour plus d'informations à jour sur.

Si ce n'est pas des informations pratiques vous êtes après, mais vous voulez nourrir vos rêves de voyage et vous informer sur les pays à travers les âges alors demander : qui a écrit ce livre ? Il y a eu une « colonisation » de pays à travers l'écriture de voyage. Je veux dire que certains auteurs en rédaction anglaise ont devenu indissociable du écrits au sujet de certains pays. Ils sont tout simplement le dernier mot sur le sujet.

Lawrence Durrell et Henry Miller ont colonisé la Grèce. Lawrence d'Arabie colonisée Arabia, Robert Lacey colonisés d'Arabie saoudite. William Dalrymple colonisé de Byzance et Delhi. Corfou colonisée de la Durrells. Bill Bryson colonisé l'Australie et l'Amérique rurale. Lisa St. Aubin de Ter
