Summary: travel book
Comment: This book is a waste of space. It attempts to give a snapshot picture of 230 countries and territories-in this objective it totally fails. Each country is given 2 pages .One and a half pages are devoted to pictures,some good some bad but mostly indiffefent while half a page is given over to text and a map.The text is minimal and in many places quite silly ,there are bits on experiences,surprises and getting under the skin none of which are very informative. Not a book to be recommended.

Summary: If you've got itchy feet and are trying to ignore them... don't buy this book!!!
Comment: One of the best birthday presents I've ever received....
It's not a book to replace individual lonely planet guides, but is a brilliant way to chase away winter blues, or alternatively, if you're thinking about going away somewhere, to have a brief idea of the time to go.
I much prefer leafing through a beautiful book like this rather than researching "when to go" on websites. It is the "big picture" of a country rather than east/west coast specific, but that's all you want or need if you're planning a fantasy trip, or if you're just looking for some ideas.
I've got the hardbook version which I think is better than the paperback one as it somehow makes it more "special" (without sounding naff I hope).
I read that one reviewer had bought it for a friend recovering from an operation and I thought what a fabulous idea.... this would make anyone's day.

Summary: Gift received with great enthusiasm
Comment: I had this book sent to a friend who is recovering from an operation as I thought it would cheer her up. I haven't looked at the book at all but she was on the phone to me incredibly excited and enthusiastic about it. If I had given her £100 I don't think she would have been more grateful! She particularly enthused about the quality of the photos and the vast amount of information. All in all, obviously a very good choice!
