The Following extracts are random quotes, rather than reviews, from travel related publications that sit on my bookcase – some of them are road trip material, others are, for example, reportage stuff with particular geographic and historical dimensions. I have read them all from cover to cover – and as such they are probably in a minority of the books on my shelves! I enjoyed them to the extent that if I had the time, I would read them all again. I will keep steadily adding to this quotation bank.
