BIG NEWS: Beginning this week and running for the next six weeks, we'll be feautring short "Best Of" lists from some of our books on a great new travel website called Ruba. This week they're featuring three Best Of lists from Open Road's Best of Costa Rica: one for surfing, one for bird-watching, and one for volcano-trekking. Take a look and let us know what you think.
Open Road's Best of Northern California has just won a Merit Award for Best Travel Guide in the 2008 North American Travel Journalists Association (NATJA) Awards. Congratulations, Elizabeth Borsting! The book covers San Francisco, Napa and Sonoma, the Central Coast, Santa Cruz, the Mendocino Coast, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe and the High Sierras. This follows her award last year from the same outfit for Runner Up in the Best Travel Guide category for Open Road's Best of Southern California.
The 4th edition of our Eating & Drinking in Paris, just released, received a great mention today in The Wall Street Journal. Author Andy Herbach's unique book, already praised by The New York Times, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, chef Tyler Florence, and many others, was discussed in an article about how it's sometimes difficult to find a great meal in Paris. With Andy's book, however, not only will you find a wonderful place to eat – but you'll have the additional benefit of knowing what you're eating and how to order it in French!
