April 2026
Book of the Month
April is a quieter month for new releases, but there are good ones: a guide to Kazakhstan, a Highland journey through myth and memory, and the second volume of Cicerone’s via ferrata guide to the Italian Dolomites.
This page looks back at the month’s new releases. The picks were compiled in October 2026.
