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

Once While Travelling 天气开始转暖,终于能够在阳光灿烂的午后看看书,這次選擇看的是Lonely Planet的創始人托尼和莫林合著的once while travelling(當我們旅行)。隨便翻翻圖片,就看到了兩人坐在泰姬陵前椅子上的照片,時間顯示1972年10月7日,而我在2007年8月13 日,同樣...

书还没有读完,我就迫不及待得要写点什么:因为身在出版行业,我看到的《当我们旅行》,不光是一个传记故事,更是一个出版社成长的历史。 先讲另一故事:三年前我是某国有大型出版社的版权经理。有一天,一个同事拿着几分漂亮的书目到办公室。他说,这是一个叫做Lonely Planet...

"即使是今天,三十多年过去了,我几乎仍然清晰记得在1972年后6个月期间我们每天都做了什么,生命中这样经验能有几次?所过的每一天都在我眼前闪亮,那些日子是如此生动,而在大多数的时候,能够分辨出这一年和那一年的不同,就已经够幸运了。"
