Many years ago I had a conversation with a good friend of
mine about the lack of Travel Books concerned with the joys of Bus travel. We came to the conclusion that whilst every
Eric and his dog has written about the romance of train travel, there does
appear to be a dearth of books about the romance of the long distance bus journey. You’ve gotta ask yourself why this is… unless
of course you have traveled long distances by bus…
This particular book has very little to do with travel
narratives* and is more of a business/family history probably best evidenced by
the author being a (Gary) Driver. How
lucky a name is Driver for a family with a bus company, I love it. Flicking through the book it seems to be very
business oriented, but it does have enough wonderful photographs and
illustrations to keep a bus novice such as myself, entertained and there is the
possibility that a bus spotter will consider a book such as this, porn.
"Driver Bus Lines: Transport and Tourism" well and truly falls into the Huc & Gabet
“Books of interest” and is the sort of book that I pride myself in having for
sale. You wont find a book like this one
that easily, although I do hope that any bus enthusiasts out there can find this particular copy easily.
*… actually, nothing at all.
