Marco Polo in Washington Post
In his Dec. 28 "Road Reads" review in The Washington Post, Jerry V. Haines calls the target audience for Marco Polo Didn't Go There "people who like to look under the hood of a good book." He got it exactly right, as author Rolf Potts reveals in his insightful endnotes to each chapter how he put together each story, why he approached it the way he did, what he left out and why. Haines says of Potts, he's "the kind of guy you wish the pubs had more of: well traveled, generous with funny stories, eager to listen to yours." All of which makes the book well worth reading.

Two TT Books Win Lowell Thomas Awards
TT books took the top two awards for Best Travel Book in the prestigious 2008 Lowell Thomas Awards. Editors Nesreen Khashan and Jim Bowman won the Gold with Encounters with the Middle East, and editor Susan Fox Rogers took the Silver for Antarctica: Life on the Ice. The Lowell Thomas Awards are sponsored by the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation and judged by members of the Missouri School of Journalism faculty.

For Encounters with the Middle East the judges said: "There is no better way to 'encounter the Middle East' than to join a group of talented, sincere writers on their journeys. They will break stereotypes and open readers’ minds with their compassionate, respectful stories of ordinary people. These stories will make you cry as you enter the Church of the Nativity, laugh as you join a woman searching for a toilet on a long bus ride in Turkey and smile as you break Ramadan fast on a ferry crossing the Red Sea.

About Antarctica: Life on the Ice, they said: Each story is a unique adventure in this well-edited collection of Antarctica tales. There is the tale of a harrowing search for a friend in a whiteout and hurricane-force snowstorm as well as a goofy story of the day it rained chickens at McMurdo. The best part is that these are not written by travelers looking for adventure but by the people who live in this most remote spot.

Here's a complete list of winners and judges' comments.
