Longitude Books in Stationery Business Directory

 

WHAT IS LONGITUDE? Think of us as a bookstore organized geographically. Weve got expert book and map recommendations, featuring hard-to-find maps, field guides, classic accounts of exploration, travel narratives, books on art and archaeology, novels, essays and well-written academic books. Turn to Longitude whenever you travel. Click on a region to get our latest recommendations for places around the world, more than 100 at last count. Each destination features an essential reading package of four or five books and a map, available at the click of a mouse. OUR LOGO, Were not sure what it means but we sure like the way it looks. Flying fish soar through the air on overdeveloped pectoral fins — sometimes for hundreds of meters. You may have seen flying fish on a sushi menu as sayori or, more typically, stranded on the deck of a boat after an unfortunate landing. Two species of plunge-diving sea birds, the red-footed and brown booby, snatch them on the wing. Like our logo? You can ask Ben to design you one too. ESSENTIAL READING, For each destination, we feature Essential Reading four or five books and a map that are a comprehensive introduction to the region for the traveler. We favor well-written, concise books that capture the spirit of a place, including guidebooks, memoirs, histories, field guides, natural histories, novels or other great books. Humor helps too. We hope you find our selection of books informative, entertaining and useful — our reputation depends on it. Despite our best efforts, we might have forgotten to include your favorite book or somehow included a long-winded, boring book thats not worth the trouble. Please send your book recommendations, thumbs up or thumbs down to Darrel at Longitude. WANT MORE? Contact us if you dont see what you want. Youll get knowledgeable, prompt service. The world is a big place, the book market is volatile, and were happy to search out something special for you. Weve also got good access to out-of-print books.
