For those who love to travel

What a wonderful book, worth every penny. The pictures are the best. Gave this as a gift to a couple who travel the world and they loved it. You feel like you are there or very much want to be there.

A really different travel book!

A great book - really different from a lot of the other travel books I've read. I actually ended up getting two of them as gifts. In particular, it breaks down trips by type - such as by rail, by car, by plane and also by such things as trips involving gourmet food or following in the footsteps of Ansel Adams. Great pictures as well.

The photography is stunning and the text is is clear.
The book gives good ideas for a tailormade type of vacation.
My niece uses it for school projects as she has no internet access.

Well worth the price!

This book was purchased as a gift for someone who travels around the world. I was not disappointed! The quality of the book is great! The pictures are beautiful. There were so many different suggestions of places to travel. I was very satisfied!

Not the best of its kind

I was hoping for something along the lines of "A Year od Adventures," but I didn't like this as much. It's divided up into chapters for different modes of travel, which means (for example) that there's a whole section on train trips. That's not really my thing.

When I buy travel books, I want to learn about places I'd never heard of before. That's getting tougher, 'cause I've heard of all kinds of places - did you know we have a whole state called "Delaware"? - but there are still a few out there. Most of them aren't in this book.

Get "A Year of Adventures" instead.
