Monday, January 30 at 7pm, Blue Willow Bookshoppresents Patricia Schultz. Patricia Schultz will discuss and sign 1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE.
The world's bestselling travel book is back in a more informative, more experiential, more budget-friendly full-color edition. A #1 "New York Times" bestseller, "1,000 Places" reinvented the idea of travel book as both wish list and practical guide. As Newsweek wrote, it "tells you what's beautiful, what's fun, and what's just unforgettable-- everywhere on earth." And now the best is better. There are 600 full-color photographs.
Over 200 entirely new entries, including visits to 28 countries like Lebanon, Croatia, Estonia, and Nicaragua, that were not in the original edition. There is an emphasis on experiences: an entry covers not just Positano or Ravello, but the full 30-mile stretch along the Amalfi Coast.
Chosen by Forbes as one of the twenty-five most influential women in travel (2008), Patricia Schultz is the author of 1,000 Places To See Before You Die and 1,000 Places To See in the U.S.A. and Canada Before You Die (Workman Publishing), both New York Times number-one bestsellers. She was also the executive producer of the Travel Channels show of the same name.
Based in New York City, she has written about travel for O, the Oprah Magazine, Every Day with Rachel Ray, The Wall Street Journal, and BusinessWeek. She has lived and traveled all over the world, and estimates that shes visited eighty percent of the places listed in her books...and counting!
