  • Where Tourists Seldom Tread

    £20.00

    Most people in the United Kingdom live and work in towns. Only a handful ordinarily qualify as conventional tourist destinations, with most deemed too plain, run down, or unfun to be worthy of a leisure visit; but they have much to offer for the inquisitive traveller. Travelling from Warrington, Birkenhead and Slough to Paisley, Armagh, Newport and beyond, Chris Moss seeks out Britain’s ‘unloved’ towns. As he encounters the rich stories and spirits of these places, peeling back layers of history and culture, he considers why the hidden pleasures they have to offer have been ignored by most. ‘Where Tourists Seldom Tread’ is an invitation to move away from our preferences for major cities and rural idylls, offering a new field guide to the country.

  • How to Find Old Los Angeles

    £8.00

    Los Angeles is a city that rarely looks back. Yet scattered across it are places that have endured, remaining in use while the city around them has been rebuilt and reimagined. How To Find Old Los Angeles is a guide to 45 such places: bars, diners, restaurants, shops, and long-established institutions that continue to operate much as they always have, serving locals and visitors side by side. These are not landmarks set apart from everyday life. They are working places where you can order a whiskey or a root beer float, a taco or a burger, or step in off the street to take care of ordinary business. This guide offers an entry point into a Los Angeles of an earlier era, one that remains accessible, and that will last only for as long as people continue to use it.
