Sawday’s Books

Books were our first love. We launched our guide to French special places in 1994 and quickly added titles dedicated to Spain, Britain, Italy, pubs, dogs and a few other things. Several editions down the line, they still contain the same honest reviews that we use on our website, drawn from personal visits to each and every place, but have the added advantage that you can use them in those happy times when you’re totally off grid.
