DISCOVERY GUIDES ONLINE BOOK & ONLINE BOOKSHOP

For Your Book, Books, Guide, or Guides - A Book Shop of Discovery

This Discovery Guides Online Book Shop is the home of Discovery Guides travel guides, tourist guides, TV guides, walk & walking guides and photo guides - so whether you search for book, books, guide, guides, book shop, book shop, bookstore, book store, bookseller or book seller ....... we hope that you will arrive here at our specialist tourism bookshop.

Discovery Guides are produced with great care and enthusiasm in the aim of endeavouring to produce the best tourist books and guides on the market. As a small family operated publishing business, we are able to ensure direct involvement and control at every stage in the publishing process - from the initial research to writing, photography, design and production artwork.... all undertaken in-house.

We invite you to have a close look at our range of publications featured on this online book shop - in particular, the sample pages that clearly illustrate the exceptional design and layout qualities which include outstanding maps and breath-taking and unique photographs.

But two of the main advantages of our Discovery Guide books are their realistically low and competitive pricing structure, plus their exceptional value-for-money.

THREE DECADES OF SUCCESS AND GUIDING THE WAY

It was in 1976 that the first Discovery tourist publications were produced and in 1977 that the first Discovery Tourist Maps were first introduced...... quickly followed by the first of the very popular series of Discovery Guides in 1979. Today, some three decades later, despite a consolidation period following the Foot and Mouth epidemic of 2001 that so seriously affected both the countryside and tourist industry, the newest versions of Discovery Guides published over the last few years are now making their own mark and continue to claim a leading position in the UK and Britain tourist publishing industry.

In so many ways we pioneered the free tourist map for visitors and an original concept for tourist guidebooks in the 1970s - ideas that have proved so successful that they have since been adopted by many others over the years.

One of the strengths of the Discovery operation is its originality of ideas, products and innovation - an advantage and quality that perhaps escapes others working in the same field.

We hope that you too will appreciate and enjoy our varied range of publications that can provide much of interest and enjoyment, or an excellent gift for friends and family.
