A special three-page travel insert in the April issue of Good Housekeeping, which went on sale March 5, directs readers to find featured titles at independent bookstores with Book Sense.

The insert, featuring 11 titles selected by Good Housekeeping Marketing Manager Heidi Sacko and Book Sense staff members, ties classic to contemporary literature to travel destinations within the U.S. In a sidebar to "Book It: Wondering Where to Go on Your Next Vacation?" readers are directed to the BookSense.com Web site to find independent booksellers "who share your joy for the world of books." Readers are also directed to Good Housekeeping's www.ghtravel.com Web site for a chance to win one of five $100 Book Sense gift cards. The Good Housekeeping travel site also features a prominent Book Sense logo and directs "For great travel book recommendations, visit BookSense.com," with a link to the BookSense.com homepage.
