According to the Peninsula Daily News:
“Twilight Tours, a book about touring Forks and the West End inspired by the teen novel series, has been selected as part of the Washington state Summer Reads Program for this year.
Not to be outdone, Twilight itself is part of the Fall Summer Reads Program for the year.
Twilight Tours shows off the locations made famous by the saga of books set in Forks and LaPush.
Many of the photos in the book were taken by Forks Chamber of Commerce Office Manager Mike Gurling.
“I also assisted the author in reviewing the manuscript to ensure accuracy of content, and the Forks Chamber of Commerce is acknowledged for efforts in this publication,” Gurling said.
“This is the only book in the Summer Reads program that highlights the town of Forks and the Olympic Peninsula.
“The book has become a big seller to Twilight fans wherever books are sold, and it has been reviewed positively by a number of readers.”

The Lexicon staff first saw the book roughly a year ago. We have a brief mention in the book along with Twilight Moms and Twilight Source. It gives a full-color visual tour of the Forks, La Push and Olympic Peninsula area, and doesn’t just limit itself to Twilight coverage. It also provides background information on the Forks area. The descriptions are great since it was written by people who grew up in the Forks area. It’s currently retailing for roughly $15.00 on Amazon.com.
The other book we’ve seen with similar content is Twilight Territory by the editor of the Forks Forum, Chris Cook. It’s a great guide of the Forks area that shows how Twilight has affected the town and where the “hot spots” are. You can get it on Amazon for roughly $10.00.
So if you are looking for a coffee table book on the Forks area written by people in Forks, the way to go is Twilight Tours. If you want an actual area guide that would be helpful on a trip, go for Twilight Territory.
