SOWT reviews:

"WWW authors are daring and intrepid travelers. On the other hand, they can be languid and seductive, or sometimes simply seducing. The nature of the observations and the quality of the writing make this the most distinctive and appealing travel anthology of the year." – Tim Cahill, author of Pass the Butterworms: Remote Journeys Oddly Rendered

"All of travel's great moments are here in this book." – Maureen Wheeler, founder of Lonely Planet Guides

"I'm already half-way through the WWW book I bought from you yesterday. I have lots of other travel anthologies and none of them have the consistently great stories your group put together."– Cheryn F.

Tales From Nowhere: Unexpected Stories from Unexpected Places
Published by Lonely Planet. $16.95

Every year Lonely Planet Travel Guides produces a literary anthology of the highest quality, spotlighting some of the travel world’s most renowned authors as well as the rising stars of the new generation. This year’s anthology takes that tradition into uncharted territory with Tales from Nowhere: Unexpected Stories from Unexpected Places. Full of surprise, passion, wonder, curiosity and revelation, the 31 real-life tales in this collection compose a kaleidoscopic portrait of the many Nowheres we visit – and the many roads we take to get there – in our lives. Contributors include Tim Cahill, Pico Iyer, Simon Winchester, Pam Houston, Jason Elliot – and Lisa Alpine. Widely varied in setting, tone, and situation, the tales in this extraordinary collection all illuminate one fundamental truth: If we embark on each adventure with an open heart and an open mind, trusting in the journey, travel will take us places we never planned to go, and enrich and enlighten us in ways we never otherwise would have known.
