Read Doug Lansky's posts on the Penguin Blog. "In a nutshell, the Titanic Awards are the Darwin Awards for travel- only nobody dies." -Los Angeles Times Everyone who's ever checked (and lost) their luggage or discovered that their hotel misplaced their reservation knows there are few perfect vacations. The Titanic Awards takes a different approach to these often spectacular travel underachievements: celebrating them. From worst airport layout to most confusing subway system to the most overrated tourist attraction, Lansky looks at these flawed travel destinations with a gimlet eye and a sense of the absurd.

Travel: The Guide

TRAVEL: THE GUIDE an insightful, irreverent, and highly visual new take on travel that will challenge readers to rethink the way they look at travel and how they interact with the world around them. You might think of it like an inspiring TED Talk on travel that you flip through yourself.  Jason Cochran, author and editor for Frommer's guides, described it this way: "It's not really just about travel. It's about exploding every stereotype, fear, and expectation you have about the rest of the world and your place in it. Once you start flipping through, you'll be consuming little knowledge bombs like potato chips. Good luck stopping. And good luck seeing things the same way ever again." Mike Carter, a contributor to The Observer and The Guardian wrote: "Turns on its head just about everything we thought we knew about how to get the best out of our travels, gloriously debunking the myths and exposing the clichés along the way."
