Plan Your Summer Vacation with the Bookish New Travel Guide Novel Destinations!
As you're planning your summer vacation, or perhaps an outing for your book group, check out the new book, Novel Destinations, which describes the famed haunts, homes and watering holes where beloved authors from Jane Austen to Mark Twain sought solace and found inspiration. Heading to NYC? Get yourself of pint of ale at Pete's Tavern where O. Henry wrote The Gift of the Magi. Off to Concord, MA? Visit the room where Louisa May Alcott and her sisters acted out homespun plays as children. If you're in New Orleans, stop by Galatoire's restaurant and sit at Tennessee Williams' favorite table in the corner. This travel guide is a must-have for book lovers, one you'll use for years to come on all your travels! Check out the site for more photos and ideas.
I was lucky to get an advanced reader copy of this - and highly recommend it! It's packed full of wonderful destinations and facts, and its tone and format make it a delight to read even if you don't leave your armchair.

OK, I've added this to my wishlist because I MUST HAVE this one - to mix two of my favorite things (traveling and reading) in one book is delightful!

This might be the best place to ask this question since this post is about book and author locations. I had heard a long time ago that Amazon had a feature that allowed you to find books that were set in your hometown or were by home town authors. Is this true and if it is, how can you find out how to use that feature? Thanks to anyone who can solve the mystery!
