TRAVEL BOOKS WITH A SENSE OF PLACE
Announcing the first volumes of The Unguidebook. This one-of-a-kind travel book series is unlike any guidebook. It’s designed to provide you with a sense of place rather than a list of places to go and help you understand what a destination is like even before you go there. Also, we’ve put a unique stamp on our writing giving modern twist to the familiar phrase, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Each story is just 1,000 characters long and features an original photograph.
Whether you plan to visit these corners of the world or simply experience them vicariously, our books provide what few travel books do. They give you a real sense of place.
These make a great gift for yourself or a friend planning a trip to one of these destinations or possibly as a fun way to remember the journey after returning.

The Unguidebooks are not typical travel books. They’re written to provide travelers with a sense of place rather than a list of places to go. To help give you an idea of what our books are like, we’re giving away a mini book. Think of it like a taste. A sampler. After you read it, we hope you’ll want to come back for more and read our other books that are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Apple.

Perth is one of the world’s best kept travel secrets. Good weather and good times are in abundance here. Take endless strolls along first-class, white sand beaches or go bushwalking in one of the nearby national parks. Check out the wide range of big city cultural amenities from the fine arts to fine dining. Then kick back and feel right at home grabbing a bevvie (beverage) while having a chinwag (chat) with some locals. Not only do the Aussies have a charming way of talking, they’re extraordinarily charming people, too.
The Unguidebook™ Perth is the fifth volume in our travel series. After reading it, we think you’ll agree that like most good secrets, you’ll feel as if you know something special that others just haven’t learned.

The towns in Western Australia are a long way from everything, and to some extent even each other. One of the first things you’ll discover about this state is that the people who live here take full advantage of the gifts that nature has placed on their doorstep. This approach to life may be due to the region’s remoteness or the Aussie spirit of living every day to its fullest or a combination of the two.
The sixth volume in our series, The Unguidebook Perth & Western Australia, will introduce you to these fun-loving people, the area’s distinct scenery and many of its fascinating places. It has all of the 49 stories in The Unguidebook Perth & Western Australia plus 24 more about places that are a day’s drive from this dynamic capital city.
