Tekkin a Waalk: Along the Miskito Coast
Ford, Peter

ISBN: 0006545122
Publisher: Flamingo 1993
8vo hardcover in d/w. 350pp index. very good, ex-library. / very good d/w covered in plastic, taped to endpapers. Travelling the length of the Caribbean-influenced Central American coastline from Belize, through Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama, Peter Ford tramped the still-untamed territories of the Garifuna and Miskito Indians, of pirates, guerrillas and former cannibals. In creole parlance, he was just "tekkin a waalk". Seasoned with historical accounts of the eccentric, often sad past of the Garifuna and Miskito kingdoms, tragic and hilarious in turns, and the oddities left behind by the exploitation and colonial rivalry of the imperial powers of the British "bouconiers" and "Spainyards" over the centuries, Peter Ford's travel memoir is a portrait of a people living historically, geographically and culturally on the border of two worlds.

For four years, Brian Keenan and John McCarthy were incarcerated in a Lebanese dungeon. From the blank outlook of a tiny cell, with just each other and a few volumes of an ancient American encyclopaedia to sustain them, they could only wander the wide open spaces of their imagination. To displace the ugly confines of their existence, they imagined walking in the High Andes and across the wastes of Patagonia. Five years after their release, Brian and John chose to travel together again to see how the reality of Chile matched their imagination and to revisit their past experiences. Between Extremes is the story of that journey.

Wrong About Japan
CAREY, Peter
Book Number: 48696
ISBN: 1740513258
Publisher: Vintage January 1, 2004
8vo softcover 121pp very good. French flaps. For Peter Carey, a trip to Japan with his twelve-year-old son Charley would be a unique opportunity to share and learn something about his son's passion for Japanese comics and animated film, otherwise known as manga and anime. Convinced that there is 'a whole history and culture hidden between the frames', Carey hopes that this journey will help him to break the skin of Japanese culture. Charley, on the other hand, simply wants to buy cool manga. Either way, Carey looks forward to forging some indelible memories with his thoughtful, reticent son. And while some of the memories they create are not those that Carey might have wished for - such as Charley's ill-concealed boredom when forced to sit through four hours of traditional Japanese theatre, and Carey's own less-than-joyful reaction to Sega World - nonetheless it's an unforgettable and precious time, a time Carey considers a privilege, most especially for the pleasure of sharing his son's enchanted response to the adventure.

In Hotel Heaven, Brace takes you inside the hallowed walls of the world's most fabulous and expensive luxury hotels. He walks you through their corridors and lush gardens, lets you plunge into their pools and luxuriate in their best suites. But things do not always go to plan for the jet-set travel writer and Brace recounts hilarious and humiliating incidents which have almost ended his career as a professional bon viveur.

Livingstone's Tribe - A Journey from Zanzibar to the Cape
Taylor, Stephen
Book Number: 56253
ISBN: 000655069x
Publisher: Flamingo 1999
8vo. Softcover. 260pp. Very good. Index. Illustrated. Stephen Taylor travels from eats to southern Africa uncovering vestiges of the continent's colonial past through its landscape, peoples and their stories. His trail starts with the exotic splendour of Zanzibar and a whirlwind tour of the island on the back of the Vicar of Zanzibar's motorbike. Through Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa, Taylor talks to blacks and whites (the mzungu), on dirt tracks, in buses, at bars and on great latticed verandahs overlooking the southern lands. He meets the last white landowner in Uganda and drinks beer with a man named Delicious; at the Great Lakes he walks in the footsteps of the early colonial explorers, Burton and Speke, and meets Victoria, a formidable entrepreneur named after the lake and the queen. In this present-day journey Taylor examines the identity of the whites who have stayed on in post-independence Africa, his own ambivalence toward the great contentment in which he grew up and the future of Africa's southern countries.

8vo softcover 330pp near fine. Dr Iain Corness fell in love with Thailand on a holiday in 1975, and finally managed to move there permanently in 1997. As a settled farang, or foreigner, he enjoys a unique perspective on Thai life and all its eccentricities; looking in from the outside while also getting to see the things most foreigners don’t. His stories and anecdotes are full of the joys of life, and celebrate this exotic and exciting land in all its glory with painfully funny observations. From a date with a fortune teller to tales of a reincarnated squid, Corness revels in the chaos and charm of ‘the only country where you can be run over by a shop'. This is a book to be enjoyed by tourists and Thais alike.
