Travelers' Tales: Love & Romance will be released in January 1998 -- just in time for setting up displays for Valentine's Day in February. To help promote this title, along with the rest of our Travelers' Tales titles, we've put together a special program to help drive customers to your stores. It is similar to the Frequent Buyer Program for our technical books where booksellers participate by purchasing a minimum quandty of books and we list your store in a flyer sent to our customer list. Customers purchase any ten O'Reilly titles, send us their receipts along with a completed Frequent Buyer Card, and receive a free book. The Travelers' Tales promotion is the same except instead of a free book, they'll receive a free Travelers' Tales Armchair Adventure T-shirt.

It inspired me to pursue my travel dream.,
By Jennifer Douglas (Santa Rosa, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gutsy Women: Travel Tips and Wisdom for the Road (Travelers' Tales) (No. 1) (Paperback)
This book came into my life when I was trying to decide whether to take off on my own to travel around the world. The tips and realistic advice about women traveling indepentently inspired me to pursue my travel dream. Marybeth Bond has a writing style that instantly makes you feel comfortable. She explains the ins and outs of travel in a way that makes it all seem possible. I would recommend the book to anyone considering a trip abroad on her own.

fun and packed with good advice,
By Jane "wilson-howarth.com" (East Anglia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gutsy Women: Travel Tips and Wisdom for the Road (Travelers' Tales) (No. 1) (Paperback)
Gutsy Women is packed with useful advice delivered in a readable, reassuring and fun way so this is the perfect little gift for the gal going abroad - or even just aspiring to. Travelers Tales have published a whole series of these tips books which are great fun to dip into and I especially love the case histories, lists and advice boxes.
