GUIDEBOOK • 2007 • PAPER • 720 PAGES
This superb, colorful guide covers all of Spain. It features bright photography, dozens of excellent maps and a region-by-region synopsis of the country's attractions. Handsome, convenient and up-to-date, this is the guide to carry. (SPN05, $30.00)

Homage to Catalonia •  George Orwell
BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR • 1987 • PAPER • 234 PAGES • FAVORITE
Orwell's portrait of the Barcelona uprising and the spirit of a city at war is a classic, an observant and heartfelt report from the streets. In part, this book is the simply told story of a wide-eyed soldier caught up in revolutionary fervor and the allure of Spain. (SPN03, $14.00)

Travels with My Donkey •  Tim Moore
TRAVEL NARRATIVE • 2006 • PAPER • 328 PAGES
Moore (the marvelous comic author of French Revolutions and Frost on My Moustache) telegraphs the message (and fun) of his Spanish book with a revealing subtitle: One Man and His Ass on a Pilgrimage to Santiago. And so it is! He's as entertaining as ever (and reflective too). Moore salts his anecdotes of fellow travelers and grand adventures with an informative account of the history and culture of the medieval Way of St. James. Moore's French-speaking donkey Shinto is the perfect foil. (SPN242, $13.95)
