About this title: In this travel guide for ardent readers, two book lovers team up to create an eclectic and infinitely browsable guide to literary landmarks in Europe and the United States. Divided into two sections, the book begins with broad thematic chapters: Author Houses and Museums, Literary Festivals and Walking Tours, and Hotels, Bars, and Restaurants where famed scribes sipped, supped and slumbered.

"As someone who has enjoyed many author pilgrimages in the past (L.M. Montgomery, J.K. Rowling, just about every deceased New England writer/poet), I really enjoyed this book. Now I'm dying to travel to Alabama to see Harper Lee's stomping grounds, as well as return to Bath and see the Jane Austen landmarks (should have done that while I was there instead of shopping...oops)."
"I expected to enjoy this book much more than I did given that it combines two of my favorite things - books and travel. Unfortunately, the first part of the book is basically a catalog of places that are somehow related to novels or authors -very dry. The second part is more interesting as it provides more details and stories about places where various authors lived or settingls that they wrote about. I think I might take a look back at this book before traveling to one of the places discussed, but it's just not that great for entertainment value."
