Paperback. Condition: Good. Isle of Wight (2006) by Jackie Parry and Chris Parry. Landmark Visitors Guides. ISBN: 9781843061205. Condition: Good. The Isle of Wight occupies a curious place in the British imagination. It is close enough to the mainland that you can see it on a clear day, yet the moment the ferry pulls away it somehow acquires the air of a proper expedition. Never underestimate the psychological power of twenty-odd minutes at sea. By the time you?ve disembarked, you?ve convinced yourself you?re practically an explorer. This handy Landmark Visitors Guide by Jackie and Chris Parry is the sort of travelling companion that existed before smartphones confidently directed you into farmyards and insisted they were luxury hotels. Back in 2006, sensible travellers packed an actual guidebook, folded maps that refused to fold back properly, and perhaps a packet of mints for the ferry crossing if the Solent decided to become enthusiastic. The Isle of Wight, of course, rewards precisely this sort of exploration. It has beaches, cliffs, castles, steam railways, picturesque villages and enough winding country lanes to ensure that "We?ll just have a quick look over here" becomes an unexpectedly enjoyable four-hour detour. It manages the remarkable trick of feeling both comfortably British and just slightly detached from it all, as though mainland life has been politely asked to leave its worries on the ferry. The guide introduces readers to the island?s many attractions, from historic sites and coastal scenery to places to eat, stay and wander. It balances practical advice with enough background information to ensure you?re not merely looking at a church, a lighthouse or a curious rock formation, but understanding why people have been coming to admire them for generations. One of the joys of older travel guides is seeing destinations frozen at a particular moment in time. The cafés may have changed hands, the prices have certainly become optimistic, and someone has almost certainly converted an old gift shop into an artisan coffee house selling locally inspired sourdough. Yet the cliffs remain exactly where they were, the sea stubbornly continues surrounding the island, and the Needles show no sign of relocating to somewhere more convenient. Travel guides also remind us of a gentler style of holiday planning. There was no endless scrolling through reviews written by people awarding one star because it rained. Instead, you trusted the authors, packed the book in your rucksack, and accepted that occasionally getting slightly lost was all part of the adventure. Indeed, some of the nicest discoveries were the places that weren?t in the guide at all. This copy remains in good condition , making it an excellent companion for anyone planning a nostalgic visit, collecting regional travel books or simply enjoying browsing through guides to places they may?or may not?ever actually visit. Even from the comfort of an armchair, it is surprisingly easy to imagine hearing the gulls, smelling the sea air and convincing yourself that perhaps another cream tea wouldn?t be entirely unreasonable. From Crappy Old Books ?because the best travel guides don?t simply tell you where to go. They quietly persuade you that catching a ferry, wandering through a village you?ve never heard of, and eating fish and chips while being aggressively supervised by seagulls is not merely a holiday. it?s practically a national duty. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. Seller Inventory # 6900
