My
latest (and last) Lonely Planet
guide (7th, 2001; with
co-authors Pat Yale and Richard
Plunkett).
My
first book (1971), for Frommer's.
To my surprise, it soon became
the best-seller to
the destination.
2nd
edition of my Lonely Planet
Istanbul guide (1999),
with cover photo by my friend
Kim Grant.
LP
Turkey Travel Atlas:
I set up a database to
deal with the 12,000 town
and village names.
Disclaimer:
my Turkey
Travel Planner website
has no relationship whatsoever
with Frommer's or Lonely Planet
Publications or the guidebooks
published by these companies.
At present I am fully employed
producing Turkey
Travel Plannerand
other
websites, so I am not
employed by either of these
companies and I devote no time
to maintaining or updating
any of their publications.
Because I was the original
and longtime author of guides
published by these companies,
my name may still be mentioned
in these and later editions
of these books as a courtesy
and/or acknowledgement of my
earlier contributions to these
works. —Tom
