COLLECTORS’ EDITIONS
One highlight of recently hitting our 100th issue has been hearing from readers who’ve compiled a complete century. For Justin Hopgood (whose collection is top) the issue arrived just after the most special of deliveries – his son. ‘With all that having a newborn baby entails I am only now getting round to reading my beloved Lonely Planet Traveller!’ John Coote (below right) planned trips to the likes of Spain, Croatia and the US with the magazine, while Paul Martin (below left) says, ‘it encouraged us to try Venice out of season (it rained!) and the Pacific Coast Highway from LA to San Francisco. We visited Oman and have returned, and the Val d’Orcia will draw us back this year.’ A huge thanks to all the century-makers who got in touch: John Coote, Jane Ferguson, Justin Hopgood, Lizzie Howells, Paul Martin, Lyn Rawlinson, Sian Rogers, Helen Rosser and Pete Saville.
