As the sun and flowers put a little spring into our step, our shelves are being refreshed with the latest and greatest! New books and new bags equal new adventures! Hope to see you soon :D
BOOKS & MAPS - HOT off the press!
Introducing Lonely Planet’s brand new Not for Parents series! They are not guidebooks. And they are definitely 'not-for-parents'. Cool stuff to know about every country in the world, as well as travel tips for four of the most visited cities in the world. (Warning to parents: these might not be the same “really interesting bits” that you like…where to buy coffee, how many stars the hotel has, what’s the phone number for the airport, blah, blah, blah.). These books are definitely a must have for every small traveller heading on his/her big adventure. P.S. Do you know which country banned chewing gum? You'll find the answer in The Travel Book.

A flight attendant, blogger and the columnist behind “Galley Gossip” on Gadling.com, Heather Poole recounts the good, the bad, and the turbulent when flying the not-so-friendly skies, in her first book Cruising Attitude. She's watched passengers and coworkers alike escorted off the planes by police. She can tell you why it's a bad idea to fall for a pilot but can be a very good one (in her case) to date a business-class passenger. Heather knows everything about flying in a post-9/11 world—and she knows what goes on behind the scenes, things the passengers would never dream. A funny, quick read for any plane ride!

The all-purpose travel bible is packed with useful information on the art of travel, top tips from famous travellers and distinguished experts and individual profiles of every country in the world.If you’re serious about travel, then your home should have one.
