Away we go
The Best American Travel Writing 2012
BOOK
Shorter days and the encroaching cold of winter make for a compelling argument to stay in. And who needs to get out in the world when you can bring the world to your bedside? National Book Award winner and Sacramento resident William T. Vollmann guest edits The Best American Travel Writing 2012 (Mariner Books, $14.95), a befittingly sundry collection including essays on Victorian adventurers and the Tijuana Sports Hall of Fame.
