<p>This book is a 'must read' for scholars of sustainability, tourism development and cultural preservation. Innovative grounding in global-local theory is expanded by chapters that traverse individual motive (expectations, goals and values), tourist behavior, souveniring practice, cultural production, authenticity, green development; amongst others. Tourism and Souvenirs constructs original thinking about the influence of souvenirs in tourist motivation, destination image and the attributes that make up the desired tourism experience. Jenny Cave, Lee Jolliffe and Tom Baum have brought together state-of-the-art researchers whose conceptual insights are located in societal and geographic peripheries, but are nonetheless central to theory and practice of the tourism experience.</p>

Tourism and Souvenirs contributes to the theory and application of souvenirs by combining advanced conceptual thinking with instructive case studies from diverse settings. The authors are established contributors to the tourism and souvenirs literature. By grouping the various chapters into three parts the book editors have produced a coherent volume for scholars and practitioners.</p>

Tourism and travel is regularly described as a consumption process, an ever progressing relationship between commodities (souvenirs, postcards, etc.) and people's experiences in places and the book Tourism and Souvenirs is certainly an important contribution to this field. The volume provides a grounded framework for the theorisation of souvenirs, makes an important effort to expand the notion of the souvenir and extends the analysis of meanings attached to material objects in the travel experience.</p>

The work is easy to read and it provides pertinent examples. It touches on important concepts such as identity, including ethnic and place
identities, commodification, authenticity, stereotyping, green products, the meanings of souvenirs to people and their importance to places, and the like.</p>
