Lamenting a Lonely Planet

I found an interesting article about travel and guidebooks by author Stephen Henighan in the very excellent Geist Magazine. You can find it here.

Hi Marcello,

Really enjoying follwoing your blog. Unfortunately, I could not open this link for this post. I saw this wonderful short report that you might like on the last keffiyeh manufacturer in Palestine.

Safe travels,

Hi Filomena. I am happy to hear you are following this thing. Thanks for the report about the keffiyeh guy. I'd heard this story a little while ago. It seems the Palestinians cannot catch a break - they can't even rely on selling something they are specifically known for.

It makes me want to go to Hebron just to buy one.
