MARTIN DOREY HIT THE TRAVEL & HOLIDAY GUIDES TOP 20 WITH TAKE THE SLOW ROAD


every single smartphone has GPS as standard, both of Travel’s map sub-categories posted growth in value. General Folded Maps and Walking Guides inched up 0.8% year on year to £11.3m, preserving its status as the second-biggest sector aſter Travel & Holiday Guides: General. Appropriately, the Ordnance Survey’s Peak District map topped the sub-category. But General Atlases & Maps


(Not Folded) leapt miraculously 26% year on year, to £1.26m—its highest since 2015. Ian Wright’s Brilliant Maps: An Atlas for Curious Minds, with a whisker under £270,000 earned, was responsible for 21% of the sub- category’s total, scoring sixth place in the overall category on fewer than two months’ sales. Following more in the footsteps of Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens and Tim Marshall’s Prisoners of Geography, perhaps this is a new way forward for Travel—focusing on the million-strong


readership of book buyers hoping to understand the changing world beter.

Road: Scotland Martin Dorey Conway


The English edition may have hit the Travel Guides’ top 20,


but Take the Slow Road: Scotland actually sold more copies, charting top of the Where to Stay sub-category.


There was a strong sense of the staycation from the Travel charts, especially in the Travel & Holiday Guides: General sub- category top 10. While the DK Eyewitness guides to New York Cit and Rome punched through, they were closely followed by Kimberley Grant and David Cooper’s Wild Guide Scotland, in eighth, and Martin Dorey’s Take the Slow Road: England and Wales,

The Phrasebooks sub-category also offered an interesting nsight into the UK public’s current global outlook. While the DK Eyewitness Spanish phrasebook leapfrogged Lonely Planet Spanish for the number one spot, the Lonely Planet Australian Language and Culture guidebook boomeranged (sorry) into 10th place.
