I am reviewing a copy of World Travel An Irreverent Guide through HarperCollins Publishers:



In World Travel we travel with Anthony Bourdain as he traveled the world from  the hidden pockets of his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to Tanzania’s utter beauty and the stunning desert solitude of Oman’s Empty Quarter, and so many more places.  He probably saw more of the world than just about anyone.  



World Travel is the late Anthony Bourdain’s collection of entertaining, practical fun and frank travel guide that gives readers an introduction to some of his favorite places in his own words he tells of these journeys.   The book features essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid,World Travel provides essential context that will help readers further appreciate the reasons why Bourdain found a place enchanting and memorable.



A handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family supplements Anthony Bourdain’s work.  The essays tell even deeper stories about a place, including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Chris; a guide to Chicago’s best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more. Additionally, each chapter includes illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook.



This book allows veteran travelers, armchair enthusiasts, and those in between to experience the world like Anthony Bourdain. 



I give World Travel five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
