All this is to say: a book that basically does all the work and offers me many, many ways to visit my favorite literary sites is pretty much catnip for me.
In its second edition, Novel Destinations offers a variety of literary and bookish tours to suit all sorts of readers, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's featuring heavily in my future vacation planning.
The tours and experiences range from tour author houses and museums, walking tours, literary festivals, literary lodgings, and curated sections that collect the various places and museums if one loves a particular author (Austen, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, etc.).
There's a fab index by locale, so if you know you're going to California, you can see what literary things are there to visit. The layout and design of the book is appealing -- color photos and bold callouts, and through browsing the offerings, an opportunity to learn about authors and their lives and work.
A wonderful volume for the bookish traveler. While one could conceivably discover everything here on their own through internet sleuthing, it's fab to have this book in hand to give one a start. Personally, I'm excited for the literary lodgings chapter -- I'm a sucker for a book or author themed boutique hotel or B&B! I'll be sure to blog any trips I take inspired by this book -- let me know if you do, too! ( )
