GET THE PAPERBACK!

WOW! This is a mind-blowing book! First I tried reading the Kindle Version and could not...too small print. So I took a chance and ordered the Paperback hoping it would lighter to pick up and well-bound. IT IS! The pictures alone earn the price of the book. I wondered how they would “summarize” The USA in only 4 Photos and they did so very well. I’m proud to say The Brooklyn Bridge in my Hometown of NYC is one of the 4 pix! But in addition, I looked at all The Countries I have visited and they are spot on. This book is going to save me lots of money on plane tix...or maybe not? Hmmm...now where to visit NEXT? I’m going to order this book for all my friend’s birthdays!

Really large and great photos

Book was better than I imagined. Bought it as a present for my uncle who loves to travel, he was drawn in immediately. It's actually quite large and weighty, but in a good way. Good quality and lots of pics and info. Good as a coffee table book too.

Great read

I bought this for my uncle. He was thrilled to receive it, and hasn’t been able to put it down. I highly recommend it, on my uncle’s behalf.

Beautiful pictures, but not when I would consider a travel introduction.

Beautiful pictures, but very disappointing since each country was given two pages and no context of where they fell in a continent. In the United States got two pages? Perhaps each state should have gotten a page. I visited Czech republic in 2018 and nothing on that page represented what I saw.

Looking for Travel Ideas???

Every country is quite a variety... You can get lost in the descriptions. The photographs are wonderful but overwhelm the pages. Small photos and more descriptive writing would have given it a "5" in my book.

Beautiful book

Love travelling around the world by just turning the pages. One comment - a map where each country is located on this planet would have been very helpful
