Our guest this week is Paul Clammer. Paul writes travel guidebooks for a living, and he has contributed to over two dozen guidebooks for Lonely Planet, including acting as the head author on their Morocco and Dominican Republic & Haiti guidebooks, as well as covering tougher destinations such as Pakistan, Nigeria and Mauritania for them. He also was the driving force for their 2007 Afghanistan Lonely Planet guide. We discuss the art of travel writing, the market for guidebooks as well as the ethics of tourism in places like Afghanistan. Full show notes are available at sourcesandmethods.com
