Hi everyone
I'm trying to collect a Lonely Planet travel book from every country I've visited.

I'm trying to collect a Lonely Planet travel book from every country I've visited.
I appreciate there are other travel books but I'm wanting to keep the collection exclusively to Lonely Planet books.
So far, I have collected 30 out of 53 I need.
Unfortunately, I'm starting to realise how difficult and expensive this exercise is going to be.
My hope is to try and keep the cost to around $5 per book.
The books I'm after are relating to individual counties only.
Not the geographic area, city or the languages type Lonely Planet books.
Definitely, the older the book the better.
Counties I'm still trying to find, in order of visit, are......
. Malaysia
. Antarctica
. Pakistan
. Syria
. Sudan
. Ethiopia
. Rwanda
. Zaire
. Uganda
. Central African Republic
. Cameroon
. Nigeria
. Niger
. Algeria
. Gibraltar
. England
. Netherlands
. Jamaica
. Barbados
. Trinidad and Tobago
. East Timor
. Samoa
Kind Regards

It is a wonderful time to reflect, to connect with whānau (family), with our taiao (environment), and to celebrate what has passed and what is to come. We hope you have a warm and safe Matariki.
