About Eland Books
Eland book titles

Eland specializes in keeping the classics of travel literature in print. Eland books open out our understanding of other cultures, interpret the unknown, reveal different environments as well as celebrating the humour and occasional horrors of travel.

Eland is owned and run by three travel writers.

  • John Hatt (author of The Tropical Traveller and travel editor of Harpers & Queen for ten years) founded the company in 1982, and www.cheapflights.com some years later.
  • Rose Baring is an expert on Russia who has written guidebooks to Moscow, St Petersburg, Istanbul and Tunisia.
  • Barnaby Rogerson's area of expertise is North Africa and the Sahara. He is the author of the Cadogan Guide to Morocco, A Traveller's History of North Africa and The Prophet Muhammad: A Biography.

    Eland Publishing also encompasses two other imprints, Sickle Moon Books and Baring & Rogerson Books.
