Irish Tourist Board publications?
 
I've been to their website, but couldn't find a list of the publications they offer. Any recommendations of what to ask for when I call their N.Y. office? This is our second trip to Ireland, but our first was ten years ago. At that time, they didn't send anything we didn't specifically ask for by name.

Mare<BR>In case you do not have their toll free number: 1-800-223-6470. I had asked for their book on B&B's Town and Country Homes and when I received it there was other literature included on Ireland.

Mare:<BR><BR>cd is right. Get the Town and Country Homes B&B book. It is the most complete I've seen. They also have a hotel and guesthouse book. Additionally, they publish a book called Ireland Guide (which you would have to pay for) which is a very good general tourism guide. It's also available at Barnes and Noble. It can be found on their website. You can search on "Bord Failte" or use the ISBN # 0312270488<BR><BR>Bill
