Patrick, I'm betting that Kristin, like me, has a fairly long commute by car and prefers audio tapes to the radio while she drives. I have no suggestions for travel books, Kristin, but I loved listening to James Joyce on tape. I could never get through "Ulysses" in print, but it was great listening. So was "The Dubliners." Essence of Ireland. Now, does anyone know where/how/if there are books on tape in Italian? Thanks!

Audio Tapes. It is me again. <BR>I have had audio tapes of travel in <BR>Gettysburg, and Monterey, Calif. <BR>These tapes would be used to describe <BR>locations along a route, ie.. The Ring of Kerry without reading as you go. <BR>They are usually quite informative and are great addition to a traveler. <BR>I agree.. a picture is worth a 1000 words, but it difficult to get a video <BR>in a car ;.) <BR>

I did a search on "Alphabet street" in their audio books section, and there were only two on Ireland, but I am not sure that these are what you want. <BR>1) "Round Ireland with a fridge" !! by Tony HAWKES (isbn 1856865126). A comic travel guide about a man who hitched around the coast of Ireland with a fridge(!!). As I guess you would say in the US - go figure! (I hope I have grasped the meaning of that phrase, I am guessing it means something like "can you believe/understand that") <BR>2)"44-A Dublin Memoir" by Peter SHERIDAN (isbn 0333902785). An Autobiography on a Dublin family in the 1960's. <BR>These were found eventually on www.alphabetstreet.co.uk (audio book section). They deliver internationally. <BR>Angela

ps <BR>I have just found another travel writing audio book on Ireland (from Amazon.co.uk) <BR>"McCarthy's Bar" Pete MCCARTHY (isbn 1840323264. It is about the authors journey around rural Ireland in search of his roots. The genre is travel writing. The "fridge" book I mentioned above was also on Amazon (.co.uk)
