Salon.com and Broadway want to help you get your summer travel started. There is nothing better than a great book to add to your relaxing summer days. And, if you aren't able to get away this year, why not let Bill Bryson take you on a fantastic journey?


Every time Bill Bryson walks out the door memorable travel literature threatens to break out. Now he has traveled across the world and all the way Down Under to Australia, a shockingly under-discovered country with the friendliest inhabitants, the hottest, driest weather, and the most peculiar and lethal wildlife to be found on the planet.


In a Sunburned Country is his report on what he found there--a deliciously funny, fact-filled, and adventurous performance by a writer who combines humor, wonder, and unflagging curiosity. Published just in time for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, In a Sunburned Country offers the best of all possible introductions to what may well be the best of all possible nations. Enter now to win and you may be one of the lucky 25 individuals to win a complimentary copy of In a Sunburned Country.
