| Hello fellow traveller! It’s Abi from Bradt and welcome to your first weekly update. If weekly seems like too much, then you can always switch to monthly by clicking right here (and you'll be taken to a lucky dip travel article.) Just as a recap, as the new Head of Digital at Bradt, I’m now in charge of bringing travel publishing joy to your inbox, a job I take seriously. So let's get started! Fresh books One of the best things about this job involves easy access to stacks and stacks of beautiful new books, pages fresh and untouched, a bundle of hope, dreams and opportunity that I can hold in my hands. A sense of possibility that I can go anywhere in the world. So where to start when Bradt have over 200 titles in print? When two thirds of the books have no direct competition because no-one else is bold enough to go there? With where I am, that's where, the Bradt guide to South Wales. Going slow We all have seasons of life, some where we can voyage afar and others where we need to stay closer to home. As I'm sure you already know. And if you happen to be in one of those seasons where long distance travel is off the cards, it may be time to enjoy the chance to go slow. Browse through this gorgeous collection of Slow Travel books on the UK, from Cheshire to Cornwall, Durham to Dorset, Norfolk to Northumberland. And embrace the chance to go slow. (Of course, this makes less sense if you're not actually based in the UK. In which case, check out all the different destinations we cover.) Upcoming titles Look out for these books arriving any day now and pre-order so you don't miss out: Caving, canyoning, coasteering - 30 adventures around Britain The Bradt Guide to Tunisia The Bradt Guide to North East Scotland The Bradt Guide to Karakalpakstan The Bradt Guide to Istria Quick Reads Our website is full of interesting travel articles from around the world.
