Founders of the phenomenally successful publishing company Lonely Planet, Tony and Maureen Wheeler have produced travel guides to just about every corner of the globe.
Lonely Planet Publications was born in 1973 when the Wheelers self-published a quirky travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. This was quickly followed by what soon became the backpackers bible, South-East Asia on a Shoestring. Going boldly where no other travel publisher had ventured, they catered to a new generation of independent, budget-conscious travelers long before the advent of mass tourism.
The Lonely Planet Story is a unique mix of autobiography, business history and travel book. It traces Tony and Maureen Wheeler s personal story as well as the often bumpy evolution of their travel guide business into the world s largest independent travel publishing company.
Not surprisingly, after thirty years in the business the Wheelers have an unrivalled set of anecdotes which they share in The Lonely Planet Story. They have been hassled by customs, cheated by accountants, let down by writers, banned in Malawi, berated for their Burma guide and had books pirated in Vietnam. Tony has been gored by a cow in Benares, declared dead around the world in an assortment of gruesome and greatly exaggerated accounts and their company has been accused of the Lonely Planetization of the world.
Through it all, from the heady days of discovery in the 70s to the rocky patch after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Wheelers passion for the planet and traveling certainly hasn t diminished, and comes shining through in this enthralling travelogue. But above all, their memoir reveals the spirit of adventure that has made them, according to the New York Daily News, the specialists in guiding weird folks to weird places.

我喜欢那些并非处心积虑,也非雄心壮志,仅仅是平实自然的创造了些东西出来的故事。但我起初并不知道惠勒夫妇也是其中之一。今年4月才拥有了第一本Lonely Planet的《云南》。蓝色的封皮,翔实的内容,甚合我意。我甚至举着它在丽江古城外面拍照,当时也不知是怎么想的,可能是...
評分我的美国外教曾打趣道:他老哥从事的是世界上最“糟糕”的职业:把问题家庭的儿童接走看护——这意味着要和各种危险或诡异的问题家长进行卓绝的斗争;而他老妹从事的是世界上最“幸福”的职业:为C-trip撰写旅游指南。哇!好酷!我们叫道。 当旅行、撰写旅行成为...
評分有一种书,翻上几页你就会爱上,因为你知道那是写给你的书,那里承载着你对梦想最美好的信仰;有一些人,看到一眼就会爱上,就如托尼和莫琳,那个秋日午后的完美邂逅,是这场人生旅途真正的开始。这本《当我们旅行》,是LP的故事,是托尼和莫琳的故事,更是狂热的旅行爱好者的...
評分每次旅行,我都带着这本书,我也不知道为什么。不丹、尼泊尔、肯尼亚,每次在旅途的间隙,都拿出来看一下。今年12月,我去南极旅行,还将带着这一本书出发。谢谢作者。
評分“如果你决定要出发,那么旅行中最困难的部分已经结束。”陆续花了一周时间,把《Once While Travelling-The Story Of Lonely Planet》读完了,书最后一页的一段话让人印象深刻.这是这家澳大利亚的权威旅行指南出版商创始人Tony,把多年扮演旅行流浪汉和全球旅行指南出版代...
