Hey, Switzerland would be ideal for this approach. The local is what we yodellers are good at, and I’d love to see a Slow Guide to the Swiss Jura, or one to Ticino. Come to that, if Bradt can do England on a county-by-county basis, then why not Switzerland on a canton-by-canton basis? I think they should persuade you two, that is Nicki and Suzanne from Eurocheapo, to set the scene by writing for first one. I really like your articles here on Eurocheapo. Which canton would you start with?
PS. I live in Switzerland

Amazing stuff, guys. Your points here, plus your other thoughts (like Dark Tourism last week) are really making me rethink my travel plans. Sarajevo rather than Seville. And rural Yorkshire rather than a week in London. The Bradt list of guides looks very interesting. I see their titles include Spitsbergen, Lapland, Montenegro, Albania, Georgia, etc. They seem to get to places that Lonely Planet and Rough Guides covers all too cursorily.
