Following the phenomenally successful release of Spaces & Places Johannesburg (guide to the city's hidden gems) in December 2010, now sold out and out of print, Double G Media is excited to announce the publication of its new city guide, Spaces & Places 2.0 Joburg Places. With 300 pages of full-color photographs and mesmerizing text, Gerald Garners newest guide to Jozi burg celebrates the city's many hidden gems.

In the last two years Johannesburg has established itself firmly on the international tourism map as an exciting destination. Recent proof of this includes articles in Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, GlobalPost and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Only a month ago USA-based international travel magazine, AFAR hosted its weeklong annual experience for 40 intrepid travelers in Johannesburg. Garner has also seen this trend in the growing interest in his already popular Joburg Places inner-city walking tours.
