A World of Bookish Places: Travel Inspiration For Book Lovers by DK Travel

A World of Bookish Places is a gift book for the kind of reader who plans trips around bookshops. DK put it together with more than twenty travel writers and book people, and it is a celebration of literary travel: the places books take us, and the places that take us to books.

It runs through 35 literary cities, London, Paris, New York, Chicago and more, with the indie bookshops, libraries, author homes and cafes worth a detour in each, plus a reading list to match. There are illustrated literary walking tours, from Tokyo's Jimbocho book town to Harlem, and features on book towns like Hay-on-Wye.

It is a nicely made hardback, with a foil cover, a ribbon marker, marble-effect endpapers and illustrations throughout. A good gift for a reader who travels, or a traveller who reads.
