Book Reviews of The Best American Travel Writing 2009
Book Review: Good but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been buying these since 2000 and it's always a highlight of my book reading year. But it seems like the last couple of years the collections haven't been as strong, which I chalk up to the guest editors. Still worth reading though.
