There’s a guidebook for every taste in travel. “Let’s Go,” a series covering Eu rope, U.S.A., Britain and Ireland and the rest and written by the Har vard Student Agencies (St. Martin’s), won’t list the Hiltons and Marriotts everywhere, but you’ll Find the hos tels and bed-and-breakfasts. And where else can you learn where the hitchhiking is good? Penguin’s “Caribbean,” “Ireland,” “Australia” and “New York City,” among others, often written by local journalists and writers, give a feeling of intimacy with a place, as if hearing from a friend. These books are aimed at experi enced travelers “in search of excep tional information to help) them sharpen and deepen their enjoy ment of the trips they take.” Readers learn of a pub in County Cork, Ireland, dating back to 1837, where young poets recite their latest works, and that Clare Island, off Ire land’s northwest coast, “is the kind of sanctuary that attracts individu als; it is remote and yet has every comfort.” Fodor’s, long familiar to travelers, has started to rewrite, reformat and redesign all its more than 100 travel guides. Did you know, for instance, about the one-room public library at De Funiak Springs, in northern Florida, the state’s oldest continuously oper ating p)ublic library, dating from 1887? The new Fodor’s “Florida,” in one of numerous paragraphs headed “Off the Beaten Track,” notes that this library contains in addition to 14,000 volumes “an impressive col lection of European armor, some dating back to the Crusades.” Part of the fun of a visit, Fodor’s says, is tra cing the history of the collection and learning how it got there. Bantam Books started a series of travel guides this spring, in both trade size and pocket size. The four larger guides marking the imprint’s start cover Australia, Great Britain, Italy and London; the pocket guides are to the cities of London, Washing ton, D.C., and Rome. Bantam says its intent with the new guides is to get away from the “laundry list style” and “focus only- on the unique.” Berlitz has added Prague to its se ries of handy, pocket-sized travel guides. It contains a number of color photos and maps along with useful travel information on the Czechoslo vakian capital. There is a buoyant, unconventio nal guide to the Caribbean, “Rum and Reggae, What’s Hot and What’s Not in the Caribbean,” by Jonathan Runge (St. Martin’s). It focuses on what the visitor wants to do — from golf to enjoying a little privacy for nude bathing — and says where to Find it. Just in time to help the traveler al ready browsing through “The Best of Brazil” (Crown) or planning a trip elsewhere in Latin America comes “The Travelers’ Guide to Latin American Customs & Manners,” by Elizabeth Devine and Nancy L. Bra- ganti (St. Martin’s). Don’t give white flowers if you’re invited to some one’s home in Guatemala, they warn; they’re associated with fune rals. And in Venezuela, it’s consid ered unlucky to give someone hand kerchiefs. Some other new guidebooks: “On the Road USA”( Reader’s Di gest), for automobile travelers. This guide is formatted with entries ar ranged along major highway routes. Each entry has information about routes, sites, opening times, admis sion costs, and facilities available. “The Self-Guided Travel Series" (Langenscheidt) is for experienced independent travelers. The first of the series covers England, Mexico, Italy, France and Canada. Each book includes suggested driving and walk ing tours, concise background about history, architecture, and lesser known sites, and practical informa tion about each location. “ The Real Guides” (Prentice Hall) is aimed at younger, budget-con- CLASSIC Cool, comfortable spring dresses in lightweight striped cotton ox- fordcloth.
