NYT: Travel News Roundup

The New York Times Sunday Travel section had a few short articles regarding books and travel:

1) These Guidebooks Don’t Scream Tourist
The article points to the new Moleskine City Notebooks and Time Out Guides as examples of the latest trend in guidebook style — small, sleek and focused on the best fun in big cities (hotels/restaurants/museums/shopping)

2) A Map to Neverland and Other Parts of England
I wish I was a kid again — The British National Tourist Office has launched Storybook England in an effort to lure more youngsters to visit. The website has a downloadable interactive map with links to over 40 famous children’s stories set in Britain. Kids can travel online via flying bookshelf and learn more about the regions where stories like Winnie the Pooh, Narnia and The Secret Garden take place. They can then ask mom and dad about booking a trip to Enjoy England.

3) English on Continental Shelves
My very favorite European bookstore, Massolit, was featured in this article by Evan Rail. He mentioned a few that I missed during my travels, including Treehugger Dan’s in Budapest and Saint George’s Bookshop in Berlin.
