Writing guidebooks Nick Inman on where travel guide authors are going.When I tell someone | write travel guides for a living, | can see the envy in their eyes. *365 days’ paid holiday a year," they think. And why should | tell them it’s really not at all like that? T've made a preity good living out of it, Only now, I'm told, the so-called holiday is about to end. It was widely reported last year that sales of guidebooks are falling fast, thanks 10 developments in the Internet and mobile phones. [makes sense, Why bother taking a heavy book with you when you can download all the information you need to your phone as you walk around the cathedral? Writing @ new book about a place is a rewarding job, but one that's becoming a rarity, Publishers are more concemed with keeping existing books up to date than bringing out new ones in an already crowded market. This is understandable, since every guidebook is actually ‘out of date as soon as it is published. It may have been researched a year before being printed and it could have sat on the bookshop shelf for a year or two, so its information might be three years old by the time the reader uses it in practice./It is hardly surprising, therefore, that some publishers are investing almost as much in updating and redesigning their books as they did creating theny/ Updating guides is nowadays a good way for new writers to get started, But if the Internet via a mobile phone can deliver information just as well as printed paper but much faster, at almost no cost, is there a future for the printed guidebook? Other books you read at home, but a travel guide's main Purpose is for urgent reference when you're desperate to find accommodation or somewhere to cat. Using a modern cellphone, any traveller can now enjoy a ‘paperless holiday’. Want to know the opening times of the museum? Look them up online. Need some information on the ancient building you're standing in? Download it. “We did an experiment last year when we went to FYR Macedonia and Serbia," says Jan Dodd, author of the Rough Guides to Vietnam and Japan. ‘We had no guidebook but got by fine With internet cafés, using online sources for train information, hotels, even _—_ restaurants occasionally. We missed the historical background, but you could probably find that online, to0." Although sales of some guidebook series are not doing so well, the effects of the IT revolution may not prove as serious as they first seem. People get excited about new technology and forget to think clearly. “I saw one tourist couple wha were carying around all their downloads in a pile of neat plastic envelopes,” observed Nick Rider, author of Cadogan’s Yucatén and Mayan Mexico guides, after a recent trip. ‘The fact that people print things out means that the printed word is still very useful, though 2 good book would actually be much easier to carry around.” And books still have some advantages over computers and mobile phones, Not everyone likes looking at a screen, particularly in bright sunlight. Not everywhere on earth has a reliable internet connection. And who wants to spend all that time in a hotel room recharging batteries? The Internet's strength of total democracy, enabling anyone to write whatever they like, is also its weakness. *A huge umount of what's around on the net is boring, unedited, untested, uninformed and untrustworthy,” says Rider. “Another large percentage of net material is basically advertising, and so equally untrustworthy. Also, inteet searches about destinations often produce facts and figures that are years out of date.” The travel guide will have to adapt to changing travel habits but it isn't finished yet. “The guidebook is not going to disappear - at least not for a considerable amount of time, That's the general opinion among our members,” says Mary Anne Evans of the Guild of Travel Writers. ‘Publishers themselves really do not know what the Intemet is capable of, and currently the thinking is that the two will coexist.” Let's hope I'll be ‘on holiday’ for a good while yet.46.

And I didn’t wish to be fobbed off. ‘They all make it worse, not better. They all purvey gossip and rumours, and most of what they say turns out to be cither uninteresting or incorrect. Your average supporter ends up in the dark most of the time." [== ee) *Now that,’ I said, ‘is just the sort of thing I want to know about. I'd like to write a book about the club this coming season, to know about the deals, the comings and goings, all the factors involved. To get to know how a Premiership football club actually works. “As I said this, 1 feared that it was a futile request, but I'd drawn a little hope from the fact that he had just been so open, as if he had already decided to consider the project. ‘I want to know about buying and selling players, how the finances work, to go down to the training ground, THE FOOTBALL CLUB CHAIRMAN travel with the team, talk to the players and the manager.” | 37. So I continued with it. “Let me tell you a little about myself" He leaned back to make himself comfortable, sensing that this might take a while, “By training I'm an academic. | came here from ‘America in the 1960s. got a doctorate in English at Oxford, then taught in the English Department at Wanwick University for fifteen years.

And a few weeks later, in mid-August, he was. “There's a great story here." he said. “Go ahead and do it next season. I'll introduce you to the people up here at the club.

He smiled. “You'll see.registered on disappointment must have a tes “Lcame to my face, because he quickly added: “I car all this relatively’ tate in my career, and it's @ fascinating business. | find it more so all the time, and I don’t have any doubt that people ‘would be interested to read an account of i.” B. ‘We've got nothing to hide,” he said, “but you'll be surprised by what you learn. It's an amazingly emotional business.’ *It must be,’ L said, “the supporters can see that, So many of the games are like an emotional rollercoaster. ‘Sometimes the whole season is.” C. He nodded gently. *Good,’ he said firmly. “That's part of the point,” I went on, * I want to write about the club from the paint of view of the supporters, a sort of fan's eye view. Getting behind the scenes is every fan's dream - whether it's here or somewhere else. I've never written anything like this, although U have written a couple of books. And 1am trained, as an academic, in habits of analysis, in trying to figure out how things work. And I'm a supporter of the club, so I don’t think there is anything to fear." D, As I was speaking, the mobile phone rang, and he answered it with an apologetic shrug, ‘A brief and cryptic one-sided conversation ensued, with obscure references to hotels and phone numbers. When he hung up, he explained: ‘We're trying to sign a full-back. Good player. But there are three agents involved, and two continental sides want to sign him, so we've got him hidden in a hotel. If we can keep them away from him for another couple of days, he'll sign.” He considered this for a moment. *Well,’ he said, ‘there is the ClubCall line, the match- day programmes, and the articles in the local and national papers.

Not at all, ‘It's funny you should ask,” he said, ‘because you're the second person this week Who has come in with @ request to write a book about the club. And I've just been approached by the BBC with a proposal to do a six-part documentary about the club. “Are you going to let them do in?” asked. * I don't think,” he said wryly, “that a six-part series on what a nice club Coventry City is would make good television.” 450, what can I do for you?" He made it sound as if he were interested. Poised and well dressed, though without foppishness, he had that indefinable polish that one often observes in people of wealth or celebrity. By polish 1 do not mean good manners, though that frequently accompanies it, but something more tangible: a kind of glow, as if the rich and famous applied some mysterious ointment (available only to themselves) every moming, and then buffed their faces to a heatihy sheen. ‘There, I'd done it. The worst that he could do was to tell me to get lost. Pant of me, to tell the truth, would have been just a little relieved. But he didn’t do anything. He sat quite still, listening, letting me make my pitch.VILL. For questions 61-70, read the passage and do the tasks below. Mary Wollstonecraft —The Founder of Feminism — A. In 1789 began the celebrated French Revolution, an event which shook the old certainties of European states and European monarchies (o the core. It also raised debate on the desired structure of the state throughout whole populations to an unprecedented degree. In October the following year, Edmund Burke brought out his Reflections on the Revolution in France which sold 35,000 copies within weeks, then a huge number, It reinforced all the fears and prejudices of the traditional aristocracy. Immediately, more progressive authors began writing their responses including the celebrated Thomas Paine whose The Rights of Man sold an amazing two million copies. B But Paine’s was not the first response. Less than a month after Burke's book was published there appeared the anonymous 4 Vindication of the Rights of Men. It sold so well that a second edition appeared only three weeks after the first. However, in this edition the author was named as Mary Wollstonecraft. The involvement of women in politics was almost unknown at the time and there was outrage. Horace Walpole called her ‘a hyena in petticoats’. C _Ifshe was intimidated by the outcry, it did not show. Only two years later, at the beginning of 1792, she produced another book with an even more inflammatory title: A Vindication of the Rights of Women. This has been a handbook for feminists ever since. Women tended to like her strong opinions while men were, not surprisingly, infuriated, What is surprising is that so many of the men who attacked this piece are usually thought of as politically advanced. Even William Godwin, for example, supported the idea that men and women Were different and complementary and this required a political arrangement where men led and women followed. Wollstonecrafi attacked this notion and demanded independence and equality for women, D_ This rebellious streak led her in quite a different direction from most of her contemporaries. As bloodshed in Paris reached its peak during 1792 and 1793, and most British fled from France, Wollstonecraft moved to Paris to live. She stayed while most of her French friends were killed. Quite why is not clear since she clearly preferred the society of the bourgeois intellectuals who were dying to the street revolutionaries who were killing them, Perhaps it was only after this experience that she appreciated some of the practical pitfalls of unchecked liberty. E_ The reality of revolution seemed to change her in a number of other ways. A feature of her Vindication was to urge both men and women to subjugate passion to reason. Before her experience in France she hal remained single and, single-mindedly, celibate despite the temptation offered by the painter Fuseli. But whilst in France she threw herself into a Passionate affair with the American adventurer Gilbert Imlay. She even followed Imlay to Scandinavia in search of stolen silver treasure; a triumph of passion over reason if ever there was one! How ironic that she should suffer this fate in the middle of, what she hoped would be, the foundation of a better, more rational, society.Q The reading passage above has seven paragraphs A-G.
