Book Synopsis A guide to some of the world's most fascinating places, as seen and experienced by writer, television host, and relentlessly curious traveler Anthony Bourdain Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels took him from the hidden pockets of his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to Tanzania's utter beauty and the stunning desert solitude of Oman's Empty Quarter--and many places beyond. In World Travel , a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives readers an introduction to some of his favorite places--in his own words. Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid, World Travel provides essential context that will help readers further appreciate the reasons why Bourdain found a place enchanting and memorable. Supplementing Bourdain's words are a handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories about a place, including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Christopher; a guide to Chicago's best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more. Additionally, each chapter includes illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook. For veteran travelers, armchair enthusiasts, and those in between, World Travel offers a chance to experience the world like Anthony Bourdain. Review Quotes "There will never be anyone quite like Anthony Bourdain. But World Travel offers readers the potential to travel the world as he did." -- Fortune "Bourdain's final book gives readers insider knowledge of his favorite global locales.... Fans of 'Parts Unknown' will want to add this to their spring reading lists." -- CNN "This book takes you on a journey around the world through the eyes of famously curious culinarian Anthony Bourdain. From Spain to Argentina to Tanzania and beyond, Bourdain saw more of the world than most of us, and this book offers the chance to see -- and taste -- much of it right along with him." -- Chicago Tribune "[R]ead cover to cover, country by country, it is an enduring embodiment of Anthony Bourdain's love for the whole world and a reminder of how to stack our priorities the next time we're able to follow in his footsteps." -- The New York Times "It's the World According to Tony--a browsable compendium of his matchless commentary on worthy destinations in 43 countries." -- People "Charming.... Irresistible.... An exhilarating and worthwhile choice for those planning an actual trip and for stay-at-home travelers." -- Library Journal (starred review) "This gloriously messy miscellany of off-kilter observations and lightning-in-a-bottle insights will make one want to read, eat, and experience the world the way Bourdain did. Bourdain's fans will devour this." -- Publishers Weekly "An exhilarating whirlwind tour.... Anyone who loved and misses Bourdain will want this book." -- Kirkus Reviews "A collection of remembrances mixed in with a global travel guide, this collection of city-by-city tips and restaurant suggestions uses Anthony Bourdain's own words alongside Laurie Woolever's, making this a one-of-a-kind book honoring a one-of-a-kind soul." -- Good Morning America "The late television host had dreams of creating a guidebook for all his favorite cities across the world, and his longtime assistant and collaborator took the notes from their singular brainstorming session and turned that dream into a reality." -- EW.COM "[F]eels like an adventure, a delightful surprise as you turn the page from Vienna (Austria) to Bhutan." -- Bloomberg News
