Cool Bookish Places: Gladstone's Library
In 1889, British Prime Minister William Gladstone got out a wheelbarrow and began moving his personal collection of 32,000 books from Hawarden Castle in Wales to their new home about a quarter of a mile away. The new building, now known as Gladstone’s Library, was intended to make his collection available to the public, to scholar’s, readers, and writers of all kinds. Gladstone envisioned it as a “residential” library, where patrons could stay overnight, take their meals, and get immersed in the collection and their own projects. Today, Gladstone’s library still carries out that mission, with affordable rooms available to the public, a generous endowment seeded by Gladstone himself, and a vibrant line-up of literary events. Guests have access to the collection and to the grounds, which seems like a downright dream. Guest rooms are clean, simple, and recently renovated.

The globetrotting chef, author, and TV host estimates that he's been away from home "about 250 days a year, for nearly the past decade," which makes him, among other things, one of the world's foremost experts in surviving the constant indignities of travel. Here, Bourdain proffers some wisdom on withstanding the tribulations of life on the road. —As told to Elizabeth Gunnison Dunn
