A fan of the Lonely Planet series, Commercial Press has regular sales where travel books are marked down by as much as 40 percent. We discovered a Lonely Travel box complete with a guide of your choice, a travel journal, mini-foldable Frisbee and handy bottle opener all encased in a wooden box at a bargain price.

Primarily a secondhand bookshop, this somewhat chaotic store stocks a good selection of travel novels and outdated travel guides. It's a useful resource for researching a destination before stumping up for a plane ticket. You can also pick up something cheap, cheesy and outrageously trashy for long days on the beach.
