I spent a good part of last summer working on helping to update the Fodor's Israel guidebook and the new volume has finally hit the bookstores.
Travel book writing is nowhere near as glamorous as it sounds, although there were a few nice freebies that came my way. It's basically glorified fact-checking done on the road. This is the second Fodor's guide I've worked on and I did manage to get some work for a couple of my freelance writer buddies on the new guide. Fodor's is one of the only books that uses writers who live and work FT in Israel--ensuring a much more accurate guide. So, if you're coming to Israel any time soon, this is the place to look for the best info...You can preview the book at http://www.randomhouse.com/category/fodors/display.pperl?isbn=9781400008...
