- Notes:
- This enigmatic cover illustration by Steinberg features two elegant ladies discussing travel over drinks, "but each talks only of her preferred destination. . . . The map for all its professed factualism is full of implicit agendas and serves the unspoken chauvinism of place. For a Paris devotee, travel talk brachiates by the city's coordinates, from boulevard to stylish side street. The world falls together differently for a traveler to Sardinia, whose talk balloon - read frame of mind - is . . . essentially a self-contained island." Smith 2006, 158.
