Library's true stories

The nonfiction section is the area of a library or bookstore where factual works are shelved—history, biography, science, self-help, and similar categories organized by subject rather than author's last name.

I found it in the nonfiction section under travel guides.

Distinguished from the fiction section, where novels and short stories live.
