Give the Gift of Western New York this Holiday Season

November 24, 2009 (Getzville, NY). Do you have people on your holiday list who are difficult to buy for? Give them the gift of western New York! Western New York An Explorer’s Guide From Niagara Falls and Southern Ontario to the Western Edge of the Finger Lakes (The Countryman Press, 2008) by Christine A. Smyczynski, the only comprehensive travel guidebook to the region, makes the perfect holiday gift for the person who has everything. The book, written for locals as well as tourists, is truly one size fits all!

Here are some gift suggestions using this book:

¨ A WNY Explorer’s Guide tucked into a gift basket full of regional specialties like Anchor Bar sauce, Webers mustard and Chef’s sauce.

¨ Handing your party host a bottle of wine made locally in one of the area’s wineries, along with a copy of WNY Explorer’s Guide, so they can explore wineries on their own.

¨ How about sending a copy of the book to out of town relatives, so they can see what they are missing and they will come and visit more often.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless. If you’d like a signed copy of the book, author Christine Smyczynski will be participating in the “One Stop Buffalo Book Signing” at the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society, 25 Nottingham Court, Buffalo, Saturday November 28 from 12-2pm. Over 20 local authors will be on hand to meet the public and sell and sign their books.

If you can’t make the event at the historical society, the book, which retails for $21.95, is also available at bookstores, specialty retailers, museum shops and online at www.countrymanpress.com, www.buffalobooks.com and www.amazon.com.
