Teenage Girl Reading at Hay-on-Wye Book Festival
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.
