The Literary Tourist
Nigel Beale, who’s biblio interviews I’ve posted here before, has recently started an online venture The Literary Tourist. After recently purchasing the Book Hunter Press (publishers of the Used Book Lover’s Guides and owners of a massive online database providing traveling bibliophiles with instant access to info on over 8,000 used bookstores worldwide), Nigel has merged it with his already successful Lit-blog Nota Bene to create a bibliohaven for book lovers at www.Literarytourist.com. The site also hosts hundreds of literary landmarks, book fairs, writers’ festivals, rare book libraries and other literary destinations, events and activities, all with the goal of making travel more fun and exciting for book lovers.
To top if off and celebrate the site having just gone live, Nigel is offering a free Literary Tourist membership for the summer to anyone who visits the site, reviews two bookstores and then e-mails with which bookstores you review in the month of May.
A great site with an abundance of information for the travelling book hunter!
