You need read only the first line of these forays to be hooked, then yanked to the higher ground of travel narration, that curious hybrid of autobiography, exposition and the novel. Thus, Simon Winchester starts his rambles with this nonchalant shocker: "I suppose I shouldnt have been all that surprised when shortly before noon one Philippine morning, somewhere about a mile and a half up the side of a volcano, my guide and the porters announced that they were quitting and ran away. " Edmund White sets off to Jordan with a whimsical aside: "I went to Petra in January with three Parisian friends, and we were so silly as to pack swimsuits.

When the chance arose in late 2006 to prepare this travellers introduction and guide to the city of Taiyuan, we were at once faced with the kind of opportunity travel writers dream about- the privilege of being first. No volume of this kind has ever been written in the English language about Taiyuan, and indeed most guide material available in English about the city is produced in translation, based on travel reviews originally written in Chinese and targeted at domestic tourists. Most major guidebooks about China give only passing mention to Taiyuan and Shanxi in general -- despite the fact that it is home to some of the oldest and most complete architectural relics in the country -- and almost none make any mention whatsoever of even the existence of Taiyuans rural destinations, in which can be found a fascinating range of

The 2006 Sam Braxton Bike Shop Award goes to Wheelworks in Belmont and Somerville, Massachusetts, for their support of active lifestyles. Wheelworks staff patiently and proficiently guides customers through the processes of gearing up, fitting bikes, and choosing routes. As John Allis, a member of Adventure Cycling proclaimed in his nomination, Wheelworks helped us prepare for our first long-distance ride. I think they tried eight saddles on my wifes bike while supposedly just adjusting her pedals. Wheelworks staff is committed to getting more people excited about bike travel and goes to incredible lengths to achieve just that.

It is just not the quality of guidebooks which has suffered, there has been a noticeable decline in the variety and range of guidebooks for those areas of the world that these young guidebook writers show no interest in. 15 years ago there was a good range of guidebooks on places such as Scandinavia, Japan, Bolivia and Chile, Germany and various Pacific Islands. Obivously for these young writers these are places which are expensive to visit or to get to, so they dont bother. Publishers such as Lonely Planet had guides on cities like Auckland, so its a problem for both large and small publishers which impacts on those wanting to travel to interesting locations unless the publishers want us the public to visit certain locations as it keeps their costs down.
