Instead of limiting their reviews to travel books, the author and guest posters review books and movies that are set in travel destinations. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/atravelerslibrary.com\/2010\/11\/12\/book-review-and-interview-iranian-thriller\/\" target=\"_blank\">New Book Review and Interview<\/a>, for instance, is about <em>Cemetery of Dreams<\/em>, a self-published historical novel set in Iran. In the course of the interview with author, S.
