Wikitravel Press Blog

After our successful launch on Amazon, the second wave of Wikitravel Press books is now starting to emerge from the incubator, and today I’m delighted to announce the first new title in the series: Wikitravel San Francisco (ISBN 1442169966), edited by John “PerryPlanet” Perry.  Packing a 312-page punch, Wikitravel San Francisco goes beyond tourist-packed Fisherman’s Wharf to give you a local’s guide to one of America’s most fascinating cities, from the hippie vibe of Haight-Ashbury to the digerati dance clubs of SoMa and the dive bars of the Tenderloin, with detailed maps and complete coverage of 14 city districts.  The guide retails for $15.99 and is in stock on Amazon.com:

Like all Wikitravel guides, it’s eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping and is generally printed and shipped out within 24 hours of your order.

In other news, you can now keep up to date with Wikitravel Press at identi.ca and Twitter.  The Wikitravel group at Facebook is also active.  Be sure to join one, since there is plenty of news coming up in the next few months!

After a lot of quiet work in the background, I’m delighted to announce that Wikitravel Press books are now available on the web’s favorite bookstore, Amazon.com.  This also means big savings for our readers, as Wikitravel books are eligible for free super saver shipping (in the United States) if you buy over US$25 worth of any eligible products on Amazon.  The first title to go online is Wikitravel Chicago (ISBN 1440427755), and the rest of the catalogue is expected to be up by the end of November.  Read all about it in our press release, or click below to try it out!

UPDATE: Amazon is now correctly listing the books as In Stock, instead of the previous erroneous “1-2 weeks”.  This means your book will usually be printed and shipped within 24 hours of your order!
