Traveler's Bookcase

The American worker takes an average of 10.2 vacation days after three years on the job. While we would certainly love go on about what the rest of the world is doing (see: Europe, ENTIRE MONTH of August in), let's focus on the matter at hand. With so little vacation time it's crucial to plan correctly. As the name suggests, Traveler's Bookcase offers travel books and maps. Unlike regular bookstores where the travel section consists of books for a few popular cities by the same five publishers, Traveler's Bookcase's selection offers guidance as well as travel writing. It allows you to make an informed decision about a three-day hike to a waterfall--not just by reading a paragraph in a guidebook, but also by perusing a book by someone that lives near the waterfall. Buy the books and read them at work--trust us, it's the least your boss deserves.
