Lonely Planet Collection
On 3 October 2009 from Reuver, Netherlands , trackback
It is no secret that I am a large fan of Lonely Planet guidebooks. Aside from the miniature versions of important landmarks, it is the only physical collection I maintain. Years ago (2001) they sent me a free travel guide after I gave them some feedback on the Canada guidebook, and that basically bought my loyalty (pretty cheap, eh). 9 years down the road of independent travel it has become a decent collection spanning all continents. Almost enough guides to lose track of, and therefore I made the inventory below. In case you need to borrow one, you know where to find me.
