The Cambridge Companion to Travel Writing
I was quite pleased with this book. It was easy to navigate in, had a lot of good points and essays with good notes. I liked the general layout of the book with the different topic and sub-topics. I was, however, really disappointed with the lack of Asian travel writing. There was next to nothing about China, Thailand, China and other big Asian countries.
