first, best, and best-selling

A special guest editor, a leading writer in the field, then chooses the best twenty or so pieces to publish. This unique system has made the Best American series the most respected—and most popular—of its kind.

The Best American Travel Writing 2009 includes André Aciman, Roger Cohen, Lynne Cox, Bronwen Dickey, Kiran Desai, Chuck Klosterman, Tony Perrottet, Seth Stevenson, Patrick Symmes, Calvin Trillin, and others
