I LOVE THE BOOK, THOUGH IT HAS REALLY GOOD PICTURES. IT COULD HAVE A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT COUNTRIES AND WHAT TO VISIT.
This book is great. It gives details for over 200 countries and the pictures are nice.
This is a Good book.But after time past, it need to be updated and improved. and also need to add more info, so many people will be happy
the book came to me in the condition i expected and more. i had gotten a little message from the seller that said, "thanks for your purchase, and i hope you enjoy this book as much as i did." i was very touched and i love the book so much.
A much better book for travelers is National Geographic's Journeys of a Lifetime 500 of the World's Greatest Trips. Oh sure, you can go back to map of the world at the front of the book and read thru all the tiny names to find the country you are looking at, but you'll probably fracture your arm in the process.
It weighs a freakin' ton and needs to be put on a table (instead of your lap) to look at. Totally impractical.
I borrowed this book from the local library and found it to be one of the most unwieldly books in existence. What irritates me most is each country's skeletal map which doesn't show it's relationship to the rest of the world.
Additionally, the photos for the most part aren't all that great. Information is minimal.
Individual maps could at least have shown the country within it's continent or region. It may not include every country in the world, but it's much more informative, original and the photos are gorgeous.
