If you do, you might enjoy The Book of Maps by Ernest Thompson. As Brendan takes his son on a road trip from California to New Hampshire (two of my favorite places!) he follows a 1930’s travel guide, The Book of Maps for their adventure. This is a light hearted read with some silly things that happen along the way, but also some depth as Brendan and his wife are getting a divorce and Brendan reflects on his personality and life.
I love maps and road maps, and I’ve been traveling before phones had navigation and even before MapQuest. On early road trips, for each new state I would enter, I would buy a road map at the nearest gas station. This was even more challenging on road trips in Europe, where they didn’t call cities or countries what we do in the US. Thank you @tlcbooktours for this gifted copy!
You can find The Book of Maps on our Amazon storefront, this book published last month and is available now!
