I hope everyone had a good holiday season and is ready for the great line-up of To Asia With Love guidebooks coming out in 2009. What better New Year’s resolution than to take a big trip to Myanmar, Japan, or North India. Those are the volumes you’ll be seeing this year.

Due in May (it’s already on its way to the printer), To Myanmar With Love is amazing. This unique guidebook focuses on culture and people, giving travelers a view of the country not often seen by outsiders. From rafting an uncharted river to dining with 2,700 monks to helping out charities around the country, this is a side of Myanmar you haven’t seen before.

To Japan With Love will hit the bookstores this summer, offering a glimpse of Japan beyond the typical tourist attractions. Ranches, fly fishing, surfing, a tempura bar, walking in Tokyo, thrift store shopping, and even trespassing! These are just a few of the hundreds of insider tips you’ll find here.

Rounding out our year is To North India With Love. Given India’s size and diversity, we are dividing the country into four books. This first volume captures the beauty and grandeur of Delhi and its surrounding area.

Remember, the International Herald Tribune’s Thai Day called the original volume of To Asia With Love “a guide with depth and color that most of [its] competitors lack.” Combining personal stories with practical information, this series immerses you in the experience of traveling throughout Asia.
