Good bookstores segregate their travel books.
In one section are more practical titles like The Best Places to Kiss in Hawaii or Fodor's Exploring Vietnam. More adventuresome reading is found in another section labeled Literary Travel or Travel Essays. And that is where you can find four new books to take on the road this summer, even if that road exists only in your mind's eye and heads only to your easy chair. On the Trail of Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys by Duncan McLean is a delightfully subversive account of a Scotsman's search for the true meaning of Western swing. It was Saturday morning when I drove north out of Jefferson.
