The subject has great market potential, and probably a slap-dash listing of do's and don't's could have enticed some buyers. Happily, Eighth Mountain Press (624 Southeast 29th Ave., Portland, OR 97214) has brought us something far better. Zepatos draws on her own and others' travel experience to present a skillfully written and organized compendium of information and inspiration. She takes care to speak to a wide audience giving consideration to women of various ages, circumstances, and motivations. Evocative "Travelers' Voices" vignettes are interspersed with practical information and guidance, conveyed with enthusiasm and honesty. Notes and references are thorough. Unfortunately, no index is provided. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
