Geoff Crowther, whose advice in artisanal Baedekers and later as a pioneering author for the Lonely Planet backpackers’ guidebooks lured intrepid travelers to offbeat destinations, died on April 13 in South East Queensland, Australia. He was 77.
His son, Ashley, said the cause was complications of advanced dementia. Mr. Crowther had spent the last 14 years in a residential care facility.
