BOOK DISCOVERY
Istanbul Travel Guide
First published 2000
Globetrotter’s Istanbul Travel Guide, published in 2000, is identified by its title as a guidebook for Istanbul. No additional subjects are supplied, so the book’s profile rests on its destination, its travel purpose, and its guide format. It belongs to a practical tradition of helping visitors prepare for and navigate a city. The bibliographic record does not specify a historical, architectural, or social emphasis; consequently, its defining feature is broad destination guidance rather than a specialized interpretive approach.
