Looking for some travel writing books to read. I'm in the market for a couple of "new" travel writing books. Thanks.
Has anyone read any great travel writing books lately?

I haven't read any new travel writing books lately. My favorite one is by L. Peat O'Neil: See the World, Sell the Story.

Hi MetroCity1
Right now I'm about midway through Rolf Pott's book "Marco Polo Didn't Go There" which I'm finding to be a fabulous teaching tool as well as a very entertaining read.
Rolf Potts is one of the finest working travel writers around, and his gift to the rest of us in this business is that he included end notes following each chapter to explain his writing process, how he decides to structure a story, and how he decides what to include and what to leave out. It's priceless, and I highly recommend it to any aspiring or experienced travel writer - everyone will learn something from it.
