TRAVEL BOOKS

The Traveller's Handbook is a 960-page all-purpose travel directory, providing essential information and advice for planning any kind of trip anywhere in the world.

In the 11th edition I entirely overhauled the country listing pages, increasing the level of detail provided on such things as visa and vaccine requirements, as well as insights on places to explore and national foods.

For the 12th edition I oversaw the entire production process, commissiong new articles from the great travel writers, editing and proofing all information pages and providing design direction.

Contributors include: John Simpson, Eric Newby, Ranulph Fiennes, Joanna Lumley, Colin Thubron, Clive Anderson, Simon Calder, David Bellamy, Jan Morris, Dervla Murphy, Benedict Allen, Esther Freud, George Monbiot, Robin Hanbury-Tension, Nicholas Crane, Hilary Bradt, Pen Hadow, Robin Knox-Johnston and many more.

Reviews:

I know of no single volume that packs so much travel advice between two covers and yet still weighs the same as a water bottle.

Whatever situation you get into, this book can help you out.

- Ranulph Fiennes

I've carried the Traveller's Handbook with me for years. It's sharp, packed with useful, up-to-the-moment, unsentimental facts from people who know precisely what they re talking about.
