Just a quick note to let you know about our latest special offer: recommended travel guides!
People have asked me several times, why aren’t there any guides? When we had our site tested for usability, someone who had never seen our site before mentioned it. So it was an obvious gap. But no more!
How Does It Work?
Well, at the bottom of most, but not all, articles here at STE you’ll find a recommended reading section. Typically, this will be a recommended travel guide, but some times we’ll find something extra-special to include. For example, just check out the really nice books we found to complement these previous pieces:
- 8 Great Places to Sip Champagne (and now, the Fines Champagne wineries to tour)
- The World’s Most Inspirational Golf Courses (and now, 50 Golf Courses to See before you Die)
- Merry Christmas From Europe (and now Rick Steeve’s European Christmas)
Again, recommendations are at the footer of each article.
You’ll also find our recommended travel guides store underneath our special offers section. There you can find most of the guides featured on the site in one place, if you’re just looking for some inspiration or a suggested guide for your destination. You can just go to the store and type “India” to see all the guides we suggest that mention India.
Not every article has a recommended guide. But most of them do!
Just in Time for Christmas
While of course this is a commercial addition to STE, I like to think this really adds a lot to the experience, because there are some great guides out there and there just aren’t enough hours in the day for us to cover everything here (though we’ll try!). Like everything we do, the guides picked for articles aren’t just plucked from thin air – I do give some consideration and look for things that sound great, have been suggested to me, or I have used myself. Some of the finds actually sparked a few ideas for Christmas gifts for friends and family. So be sure to check out the travel guides as well as our other hand-picked special offers.
Happy Shopping!
