I bought this book for my son as a graduation gift. Symbolically it is a great gift I think. Practically, the book was very dry. It really is just a list with stats on the places. I didn't care for the format and it read like an encyclopedia. Small print, thin pages.

Amazing book, amazing ideas, places I've never even considered are now on my list of "places to see". A must-own for anyone who loves to travel or plans on traveling some day.

The book is quite good, especially in both reviewing where I have been as well as for use in planning my next trip. Ordering the book, however, was a total pain. Seems that ordering two different titles and having them sent to different addresses and then having the invoice sent to a separate address is "a pain." Also, editing/deleting addresses is not easy, at least for me.

In case you have forgottan, the Earth is a very wonderful place. This book reminds you that there are still lots of places to visit and things to see!
However, like all lists you might not agree with the authors list of places to visit. Especially, if you enjoy the "road less traveled", you might miss the spirit of exploration in some of these places mentioned here. But well, there is a reason that lots of people go to see the Eiffel Tower or the pyramids. Obviously the best things cant be hidden. Moments of serene beauty off the beaten track, you wont find in this book, thats something you will have to find yourself. Again, its ok, you still want to see these 1000 places mentioned in this book.

This is a great book to get ideas for traveling. It covers the many obvious places, but also covers those that one would not find on a generic travel tour. It covers sites, entertainment, hotels, restaurants and more. It also tells you the best time to travel. It even tells you when it is the most crowded and gives advice not to travel to these areas during some of the most crowded times. It covers festivals, markets, fairs and more. Now, the restaurants and hotel recommendations are not for those on a budget, but it gives you the "musts" for places to stay and eat in that area. It also provides websites for most of the locations so you can look up additional information since it only gives a brief overview. This is a great book for those who are wanting to plan a trip, but don't really know where to go. This pretty much covers every region of the world. I am personally backpacking through Europe and Asia. I am still reading through this book with a highlighter and little post-it to bookmark my favorite places. I am not using this as a trip planner, but as an endless book of recommendations for my trip.
