 Great broad perspective travel book January 7, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Great book for those interested in a little bit of everything. It is broken up into several sections that provide a nice variety of travel types (ex. culinary, culture, boat, plane, etc.) Incredible pictures for each entry.
This book is best used as a means of getting ideas for travel because it provides only general information rather than the specific "how to" for each journey.
Overall, a really interesting read.

This is the perfect cocktail table book, and everyone that has looked at it loves it. I plan to order more for gifts.
I travel a lot, and this is very well done, with good photos and descriptions. It even gives the right time of year to travel to each place. Great book, and would highly recommend it.
 Amazing value December 27, 2007

This is a great "coffee table" style book, filled with interesting information and the sort of excellent photography one would expect from National Geographic. What's most remarkable, however, is simply the price. This is a big, heavy, tome of a book--hardcover--and I would have expected it to easily cost twice what it does. It's a real pleasure to browse through, and I learned of quite a few places I had not heard of or would not have thought about as options for travel destinations. It is not a resource per se. Think of it as a collection, a wide array, of mini-travelogues with good photography (even if on a fairly matte paper stock), and given the large size of the book, this allows for fairly large-format images. A good value.

The format is wonderful--one simple page for each recommended location or activity. Each page includes the best time of year to travel and other recommendations. We've been to some of the selected locations, and the descriptions were very good for a one-page summary. It also helps you think of places to travel that you might not have thought of or considered. The pictures are beautiful. Great gift idea from friends who travel.
