The judges of the Dolman Travel Book Award have had trouble reaching agreement on a shortlist, so they have listed six books rather than the usual five. They are:
Harlem is Nowhere by Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts (Granta)
Thin Paths; journeys in and around an Italian Village by Julia Blackburn (Jonathan Cape)
To a Mountain in Tibet by Colin Thubron (Vintage)
To the River: a Journey Beneath the Surface by Olivia Laing (Canongate)
White Fever by Jacek Hugo-Bader (Portobello)
Wild Coast by John Gimlette (Profile Books).
The winner will be announced on September 5.
