A holiday's ideal for bookworming and, sometimes, reading about your destination really enhances the trip. For those of us who can't afford a holiday or are fresh out of leave, brilliant travel writing can be the next best thing. And what about bookshops? Finding a dusty, secondhand emporium or trendy gallery shop can make your day. We know Been there users are a learned lot so tell us about your favourite travel writing or bookshops, wherever they are. Send a tip about your favourite travel book, or favourite bookshop, to Been there by Monday July 14, and the tip we like best will bag a copy of Time Out's 2008 New York city guide, complete with detailed maps, independent reviews and the inside track on local culture.

    As a former Vancouverite, Douglas Coupland’s City of Glass made me homesick from the get-go; the pages are full of beautiful and haunting images interspersed with his musings on all Vancouver has to offer from art, architecture, design, landmarks and film making. His is a satirical journey, full of bizarre and charming reminiscing, and cleverly using each letter of the alphabet as a tour of his beloved city.
