DESCRIPTION

This is a dream factory for the wanderlust-afflicted. Here among the usual and not-so-usual travel guides, you'll also find current and classic works of fiction, memoirs and journals grouped together by destination. The famous Front Table is a constantly shifting collection of the latest titles available in hard or soft cover. Culture, history, religion, humor, food, drink, art, politics, war - somehow, the subject matter boils down to the very essence of travel: discovery.

Planning an extended trip abroad? You're going to need a few essentials like electrical aids, packing accessories and the like. Real travelers write, and this shop has a proper selection of tools for the job including Moleskin journals in a variety of sizes and formats and pens and pads that won't bleed or turn to mush in a tropical monsoon. Wide World also carries travel guru Rick Steves' line of gear along with a broad selection of light luggage, packs and duffels.

I am always finding something new here! The staff is first-rate and the selections are so good, with more than I expected on places I travel or would like to travel.
