100 Million Books

100 Million Books

Way back in 1973 Maureen and I published the first Lonely Planet guidebook. We were living in a basement flat in the Paddington, a suburb of Sydney. That’s Maureen 37 years ago at the kitchen table where we put together that first book. She’s still a Dylan fan.   Across Asia on the Cheap , our very first book, cover- ed all the way from London to Sydney in 96 pages. It sold 8500 copies, all of them in Australia and New Zealand. Fast forward to 2010 and our 100 millionth book has rolled off the presses, a copy of our current bestseller Australia. Click here to read more about how we got there and

the com- petition we’re running to celebrate that milestone. Or click here for a YouTube clip I made about what it means to me to have published so many books and how 100 million books is really just a shorthand for the many more million travel stories we hope we have helped to inspire.
