Extraordinary Travel Literature

	Bonjour Blanc: A Journey Through Haiti by Ian Thomson Buy new: £5.88 / Used from: £2.46 Unjustly obscure. The stranger's experience of the strange land has rarely been recorded as eloquently as 'Bonjour Blanc'. Grimly compelling.
	A Journey Around My Room (Hesperus Classics) by Xavier De Maistre Buy used from: £24.95 What is travel literature? The smallest scale of travel book available.
	The Snow Leopard by Peter Matthiessen Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £1.97 Buddhist naturalist travel writing is a liliputian genre, but this is a brobdingnagian classic within it.
	Lonely Planet Journeys : Lost Japan by Alex Kerr Buy used from: £0.01 Lost and found. Japan is well served by literature; this is a worthy addition.
	Blue Highways: A Journey into America by William Least Heat-Moon Buy used from: £9.14
	The Pillars of Hercules: A Grand Tour of the Mediterranean by Paul Theroux Buy new: £7.69 / Used from: £0.01 My favourite piece of travel writing. Theroux at the absolute top of his game.
	Lights Out for the Territory by Iain Sinclair Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £3.00 The best introduction to London's psychogeography.
	Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World by Mark Kurlansky Buy new: £5.03 / Used from: £0.86 One man's quest for chippy tea renders the prosaic extraordinary. Fintastic.
	Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere by Jan Morris Buy new: £5.02 / Used from: £1.67 A requiem for lost time. Trieste as the capital of 'nowhere', the quiet international minority of intelligent left-leaning readers.
	Invisible Cities (Vintage Classics) by Italo Calvino Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.99 The ultimate evocation of the ultimate destination.
