Trailblazer is an independent British publisher of travel, trekking and railway route-guides. Started by author Bryn Thomas[1] it was originally synonymous with the Trans Siberian Handbook, which for years was the only guide to crossing Asia by rail and remains much respected.[2][3]
The company now publishes guides to long-distance footpaths in the United Kingdom, and hiking and adventure tourism guides to destinations elsewhere.
The publisher should not be confused with Trailblazer Travel Books, a series of recreational guides for the Hawaiian Islands, Sierra Nevada, and San Francisco, which are published by California-based Diamond Valley Company.
