Thanks so much for the outpouring of creativity you shared after I asked for your help finding good titles for my two upcoming books: my “art book” and my “articles book.”
Each book is a beautifully illustrated collection of 100 short chapters. The “art book” features my 100 favorite pieces of European art, along with descriptions designed to stoke the joy travelers feel when they see great paintings, statues, and architecture. The “articles book” is a collection of 100 of my best articles, and is designed to show off both my favorite slices of Europe and what I consider my best travel writing.
Over 1,000 of you submitted title suggestions on Facebook — and I enjoyed reading them all. We have several options that I now like, but I’d love your help with the final decision. Please consider the below and comment with your favorite titles for each book. Thanks again.
