Here is a list of books and guides intended
to provide suggestions for informative and
pleasurable reading. It is offered in the conviction
that a considerable part of a trip's enjoyment
begins before leaving home. Your local library
and book store may have these and other books
of interest about Wales.
In addition to your local library and bookstore,
in your search for informative and enjoyable
reading, you may wish to contact Barnes & Noble,
the nationwide bookseller, at 800/843-2665.
B & N mails catalogs and takes telephone
orders. If you shop on the Internet, two useful
sites are www.barnesandnoble.com and
www.amazon.com -- and, especially for hard-to-find
books, try www.alibris.com.
Among those books to be recommended are the
following:
- A
History of Bristol & Gloucestershire by
Brian Smith; Darwen Finlayson Pub., 1972
Guides
- My
Love Affair with England : A Traveler’s Memoir by
Susan A. Toth; Ballantine, 1994
