‘Staycate’ with Los Angeles guidebooks, on sale at Traveler’s Bookcase

When the concept of a “staycation” hit the travel world a while back, not everybody was on board. After all, how could a trip where you don’t actually go anywhere measure up to a venture abroad, or at least out of Dodge? As much as I toss around that “staycate” word in jest occasionally, I’ve become a fan of the concept. After all, Los Angeles is no Dodge City, and with a little motivation, we can build an exciting day-trip itinerary in our area that could compete with action-packed tourist checklists in major cities elsewhere.

If you’re ready to explore Los Angeles, whether on a sightseeing tour or do-it-yourself style, what’s your first task? Well, if you’re going to treat this as a real trip, you need a guidebook. And Traveler’s Bookcase (8375 W. 3rd St., Los Angeles), our city’s very own travel-books mecca, is eager to offer up resources.

Deal: At Traveler’s Bookcase, you can get 10% off all books about Los Angeles; receive 20% off if your purchase is over $100. If you’re ordering through the website, use the promotion code “TOLA.”

When: Now through Dec. 1, 2008.

Contact: Traveler’s Bookcase, (323) 655-0575.
