With none of the usual oversaturated photos, ads, hotel advice or "snackable" short features that are the bulk of most travel magazines, Tales to Go is meant for people who are serious about great travel storytelling. The four stories each month cover a range of styles and topics ("from a Bible story theme park in Florida to Bangkok's red-light district"), all chosen and edited by longtime Bay Area publisher Travelers' Tales. While it's great to have a break from the prevailing emphasis on "travel porn" shots of infinity pools and palm-fringed beaches, it would be nice if each story had a single illustration, something to tickle the imagination.
