Ireland Fodors 2006 out -- we are quoted!
The new Fodors 2006 Ireland is out, and has quotes on each chapter. Many look like they are from us!
I just picked up a copy, because someone told me I was on page 134 -- and I am, with a quote about the Hill of Tara
I don't know how many of these are here, but I see quotes from 39steps, Danna, AnnaG, DavidD, abuster, SiobhanP, Tennischick, SAM, irisheyes, wojazz3, and WiseOwl.
Anyone who wants to know where and what was quoted, let me know, I'll list it here

Are these little breakout quotes on the side or what?
Is this just the Ireland book or are Rex, Ira and Walter quoted in the Italy book?
I got the Fodor's City Pack when I went in December and noticed nothing in there.

"Cahir Castle is one of Ireland's best. There are many winding spiral staircases to explore and lots of nooks and crannies to see -- but beware of the 'stumble steps' deliberately built into the castle: it is easy to trip on them if you are not paying attention. I also like Cahir's Swiss Cottage because it is unique and romantic. And there's also a scenic walk along the river that connects castle and cottage." -- irisheyes

Dear Green:
Welcome to the hallowed halls of Quotedom!! I too was quoted in the Fodor's France 2006 edition: (Dordogne, Bordeaux, Poitou-Charentes chapter). Hope you enjoy the 15 mins of fame. Someone must think we know what we are talking about...
Regards..
Luis

39steps, here's something for your Guinness toast. It's from the front of Chapter 9: Irish Greens
"For great Irish golf, Ballybunion, Lahinch, Tralee, and Dingle all await, and they are easily reachable from Shannon airport. This is a pilgrimage that no golfer should miss. If I had only two days for golf I would choose Ballybunion and Lahinch. The natural dunes along the sea is links golf at its finest. The Cliffs of Moher, one of the great sites in Ireland, is just outside Lahinch. Not only is the golf great, the west coast of Ireland is the best scenery that the Emerald Isle has to offer. Bring your raingear and a thirst for Guinness." -- 39steps

Lnagcraft, as many years as I've haunted this board (sometimes more or less), I hadn't realized they quoted us in print. I'll take my 15 minutes, cool!
I am going to be REALLY published (as in, with a contract and everything) in Oct 2007, in a completely un-travel-related way. I've written a couple projects for a basic beadwork (jewelry making) book coming out then, and may even get the cover photo for one of them.

Not posted in ages? So... this is what you meant on another post... windering "if I was here". Click on my name. Waaayyy too many posts... pretty much daily (especially for some people's tastes)...
Best wishes,
Rex

GreenDragon, Don't think of it as someone being "better at it" but "different from". Everyone has their own talents and own voice. That is why there are a gazillion books in print.

This is an interesting phenomenon and I offer congratulations to any and all quoted.
However, what happens if someone buys the book, reads the quite and disagrees with it?
Clever...they think the person quoted was "incorrect" but not the people publishing the guidebook??????
