Founders of the phenomenally successful publishing company Lonely Planet, Tony and Maureen Wheeler have produced travel guides to just about every corner of the globe. Lonely Planet Publications was born in 1973 when the Wheelers self-published a quirky travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. This was quickly followed by what soon became the backpackersbible, South-East Asia on a Shoestring. Going boldly where no other travel publisher had ventured, they catered to a new generation of independent, budget-conscious travelers long before the advent of mass tourism. The Lonely Planet Story is a unique mix of autobiography, business history and travel book. It traces Tony and Maureen Wheeler personal story as well as the often bumpy evolution of their travel guide business into the world largest independent travel publishing company. Not surprisingly, after thirty years in the business the Wheelers have an unrivalled set of anecdotes which they share in The Lonely Planet Story. They have been hassled by customs, cheated by accountants, let down by writers, banned in Malawi, berated for their Burma guide and had books pirated in Vietnam. Tony has been gored by a cow in Benares, declared dead around the world in an assortment of gruesome and greatly exaggerated accounts and their company has been accused of the ely Planetization the world. Through it all, from the heady days of discovery in the 0s to the rocky patch after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Wheelerspassion for the planet and traveling certainly hasn diminished, and comes shining through in this enthralling travelogue. But above all, their memoir reveals the spirit of adventure that has made them, according to the New York Daily News, specialists in guiding weird folks to weird places.vance praise for Tony and Maureen Wheeler and the book: "Like Apple and Starbucks and Ben & Jerry s, all of which began as plucky alternatives, Lonely Planet has become a mainstream brand." - The New Yorker "...the trailblazing patron saint of the world s backpackers and adventure travellers." - The New York Times

对于喜欢旅行的人来说,LP也许是背包里的必备用品。虽然我其实比较喜欢国家地理杂志出版的一套旅行指南,因为那个版本比较豪华,适合没有那么多时间真正出门的人宅在家里卧读。 很羡慕这对作者夫妇,能把旅行经营成一生的事业。在他们20多年的创业历程中,也能看到西方旅游业...

我有一个以前是诗人的朋友,现在他不写诗了,成了一名背包客,每个周末都要短途旅行。我知道,有一天,他一定会去遥远而奇怪的地方。他的背包里,一定会装上“孤独星球”的旅行指南。 “……人们在研究旅行指南,这根本不是旅行,不浏览任何书里没推荐的风景,不去任何第139...

有点杂,有点流水,有点preaching,有点欲说还羞。算是粉丝向读品吧。Maureen真漂亮!
