Whenever I'm getting ready to travel somewhere, I like to read books written by authors local to that place. This collection makes the search for reading material easy. It also includes descriptions of local sites to see and businesses to patronize, with tips on how best to support the local economy. I'll be keeping an eye out for future installments of Campfire Stories.
