Travel Books

A wise man once said, "No matter where you go—there's probably a book about it." And considering the thousands of travelogues, guidebooks, and travel essays featured on our site, we believe it. Travel Books run the gamut from Bill Bryson's comic musings to Jon Krakauer's harrowing adventures. From the shoestring travel advice of Lonely Planet to the top luxury picks from Conde Nast, you'll find every kind of travel book here.

Travels with Charley In Search of America John-Steinbeck

Travels with Charley: In Search of America

A dog and an American dream. Let's say you're John Steinbeck and it's 1960. You've already entered the ranks of the literary immortals and created classic pieces of Americana back in the '30s with your novels Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men. What do you do for an encore? Well, you pack your French poodle, Charley, into a pick-up truck and go on a cross-country road trip, documenting what you witness. You call your end result Travels with Charley, and end up with (among other things) a timeless Travel book.
