Great book!
I saw it in the waiting room of my doctor, I just had the time to read of few pages, and I really wanted to get this book. It's a trip by itself with fantastic pictures and very interesting information on each country.

The Travel Wish Book
|
Absolutely spectacular photographs! This book is bigger than I expected, and it has more information than I could have hoped for. All the world's countries are presented in alphabetical order with maps, photos, and pertinent information. For each country, the book lists:
-Best time to visit (visit India in November - March when it's cooler)
-Essential experiences (watching King penguins at Volunteer Beach in the Falkland Islands)
-Getting under the skin (drinking Inka Kola, bubble-gum flavoured fizz in Peru)
-In a word (Yokwe yuk - love to you - traditional greeting in the Marshall Islands)
-Trademarks (shipwrecks in the Cayman Islands)
-Surprises (no traffic lights in Bhutan's capital, Thimphu)
This is a fabulous, attention-getting book. We have browsed through it several times, and it has made us want to visit places which we had previously never considered. It is definitely a Wish Book for travel.

Great Gift!

This is an amazing book at an amazing price - a great gift! The photos are beautiful and creative. The synopses, while necessarily brief, are creative, interesting, often funny... Recommendations for books, music, and food lead to fascinating internet exploration... And now I would like to visit a few places I never would have considered before (i.e. Bulgaria...) I've purchased six already for teachers, friends, and family! Plus I am still enjoying my copy...

The Travel Book - A Journey Through Every Country in the World
|
|
As a travel agent I am always interested in information about countries that I have not visited and other people's take on countries that I have visited. In this book I found succinct, accurate and interesting insights into the countries I know and those that I would like to know.

Great value!

Wow... all the countries in the world for 30$! Some of the images are breathtaking, and the description that comes with each country is enough to give an overview and want to make you learn more about this country. The only thing that deceived me a bit was that for some countries, all the pictures depict the same city (e.g. Czech Republic, 5 of the 6 pictures are of Prague) It would have been nice to have little more variety.
