“While the logistical specifics of travel—addresses, phone numbers, prices—will become the property of the internet, there will always be an appetite for inspiration from informed sources. This has been recognised by Signal Books’ superb guides—cultural companions which disdain hotel and restaurant recommendations entirely in favour of informed, thoughtful and witty ruminations on each city’s history, literature and art.”
—The Independent on Sunday
“A series of companions that shame the shelves of greedy guide books.”
—Guardian

Our travel writing continues to garner praise. The Times found Travels in Blood and Honey: Becoming a Beekeeper in Kosovo “a sheer delight; a beguiling, bittersweet story of a lively love affair with a traditional world, as ancient as apiculture, in transition to new nationhood.” From our history list, Barry Hatton’s The Portuguese was extolled in Publishers Weekly as an “engaging and delightful history.”
