Books by Laura Kinch

Alastair has been publishing the Special Places to Stay guides since 1994. His travel publishing company was born of a successful tour company that took groups on off-the-beaten-track trips across Europe. An avid environmentalist (founding Avon Friends of the Earth and currently a trustee of the Soil Association), he is keen to encourage B&B and hotels owners' 'green' credentials, by celebrating their use of organic and local food. Alastair Sawday Publishing offsets its carbon emissions and strives in other ways to be as green and as ethical as possible, for example by printing on recycled paper. Laura Kinch also edits our guide to Portugal. She is a keen photographer who feels passionately for the culture and diversity of India.
