Whilst in the UK I took the opportunity to attend the Cicerone Press "Authors Day".

For those who don't know, Cicerone produce a series of the best #outdoor #guidebooks to be found anywhere. Worldwide.

It was good to chat with fellow authors but there was a series of very interesting talks about demographic changes to the userbase, the new #PCT guide, what makes a good guidebook photo and also the future direction of the company regarding digitalization.

The third article is
A “Devolved Minority”: Contemporary German and French Guidebook Perspectives of Wales
by Anna-Lou Dijkstra

Abstract
Guidebooks play an important role in increasing the visibility of a nation, as they introduce the country to potential visitors and create images prior to travelling. However, they also tend to reinforce stereotypes and create “romantic fictions” (Mahn 2008). This article examines the representation of Wales in French and German guidebooks and consequently elucidates the cultural and political recognition of Wales in these continental texts. The depiction of Wales as a distinct entity on an administrative, or rather on a cultural and linguistic level will be discussed, as well as the commonalities and differences between French and German views.
