Books by Jason Blake
“Though the book does contain some recommended destinations it is not a travel guidebook per se, but a guide to what makes Slovenians, Slovene. It’s an expertly observed look at their quirks, their attitudes to money, to time keeping, to holidays, taboos, eating and drinking, and how the Slovenes behave at home, at work, and at play. Written by a Canadian who has lived in Slovenia for over twenty years, there’s an undercurrent of humour running throughout which makes it very entertaining and anyone who has spent extended time in Slovenia will find themselves chuckling and nodding as they recognise many of the traits he alludes to.” Read more...

The best books on Slovenia, recommended by Sam Baldwin
Slovenia has the organised, modern infrastructure of Western Europe, the laid-back lifestyle of Southern Europe, and a generous seasoning of Balkan spice—as well as a Mediterranean coastline with hot summers, Alpine mountains with snowy winters, Tuscany-like terraced vineyards, and caves like Lord of the Rings, says British writer Sam Baldwin. He recommends books to get to know the country he fell in love with and now lives in.
