Find your way around the world

A guide book is your pocket tour guide. When travelling, you can pull it out and it will provide you with details about a particular city or tourist destination. Various guide books may have information about lodgings, restaurants, activities, tourist spots, emergency phone numbers, hospitals, maps, and everything to make your stay or visit as comfortable and convenient as possible. Some guide books also include historical or cultural information. Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, in a familiar city or a foreign one, a guide book can sometimes be your most valued and trusted friend.

Feature Local Guide Book: A Verse Map of Vancouver

Edited by George McWhirter/Photography by Derek von Essen

This book is really a masterpiece. If you wanted to show someone the essence of the terminal city who had never even seen a photo of Vancouver, or didn’t know where to find it on a map, this book will do it. Each lovely colour page is laced with gorgeous photographs of real true Vancouver landmarks or areas and paired with a poem by a local writer. This one is really a must for residents (or previous residents!), visitors, and anyone who loves a beautiful book.
