Need a good book on the cities/cars/people conundrum? It's not sure that you will always find what you are looking for in your local bookshop -- though that certainly is the place where we would urge you to look first. But, with a thought to the fact that they don't always have in stock what you may be looking for, your Earth Car Free Day team has got together with an old friend, the non-profit Detour Publications of Toronto Canada, to create a specialty e-bookshop which you can now access here.

Our goal here is to give you one-click access to a good number of the most important titles in print on our topics (and some that are no longer in print). And if nobody gets any discounts or commissions for sales, that's simply because our joint objective with Detour is to get what you need into your hands quickly and at a fair price. Here is what the fine people at Detour say about themselves:

Established as a non-profit enterprise in 1995, Detour Publications is an on-line source for books and multi-media resources focusing on sustainable transportation and urban ecology. Environmental groups, governments, educators, community organizations, planners, policy makers, architects and many others use Detour products for advocacy, research and educational purposes. Detour is proud to be working in partnership with Earth Car Free Day to spread the sustainable transportation word further and faster.
