The cover (which depicts Bourdain outside a Paris café) was illustrated by Tony Millionaire, who also drew illustrations for each chapter. There will also be essays from friends, family, and others, including one from the legendary Steve Albini on cheap food in Chicago. This means advice on how to get where you’re going, what to eat, where you should stay, and what you don’t want to do. Bourdain's longtime collaborator and co-writer Laurie Woolever fills in gaps around his words. As the index outlines, it jumps from country to country and town to village. Bourdain is credited as the primary author since his quotes frame the book's chapters and locations.

In a statement to People, Woolever says it “will allow Tony’s fans and followers to continue to travel in his footsteps.” According to People, which first shared the news, much of the book was written before Bourdain’s death. World Travel: An Irreverent Guide is messy, as travel plans often are. The publisher Ecco describes it as “a guide to some of the world’s most fascinating places,” or a travel guide through the eyes and experiences of Bourdain. Written with his longtime assistant Laurie Woolever, the writer who also co-authored his last cookbook Appetites, it’s called World Travel: An Irreverent Guide. A book that the late Anthony Bourdain was working on before his death will be published on October 13.
