Wanted - Travel Literature (Fact or Fiction)
Hello there,
I am planning a trip from UK to Oz, but not leaving until 2009. I am really enjoying building up a library relating to the trip, so far using ebay and amazon mostly. I am interested in buying from anyone any literature that they would like to get rid of. Our route is still not finalised, but it is looking roughly like:- Europe -> Iran -> Stans -> China -> SE Asia -> Oz But I would be interested in anything you might think worthy of my attention. Also, if anyone can suggest any interesting shops, websites etc where I should be looking. Let me know if you've got anything and the price. Lovely jubbly Thanks Ollie

Ollie,
Here are some of my favourites, I have purposefully not included the better known biking books as you undoubtedly know about them already: 1: Anything by Eric Newby. 2: First Overland, by Tim Slessor. A bunch of Oxbridge students drive Landies from London to Singapore, apparently the first to do so in a oner. An interesting picture of the world in the fifties. You may have to be British to fully appreciate the eccentricities of these likeable toffs. 3: An Unexpected Light, by Jason Elliot. A trip in Afghanistan, incredibly knowledgable and very entertaining. 4: Eastern Approaches, Fitzroy MacLean. Pre-war travels in the Stans and relating MacLeans experiences fighting with Tito against the Jerries. Top quality adventure, funny and evocative. A real 'classic'. 5: Seven Years in Tibet, Heinrich Harrer. Dunno if you'll be able to go here overland, but this books a classic. Relates Harrers' experiences during the War as the Dalai Lamas personal tutor. Also includes his exciting escape from a British Internment camp and perilous trek across Northern India to get to Tibet. Grand. If I think of any more I'll let you know! Matt
