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.

The book gives good ideas for a tailormade type of vacation. My niece uses it for school projects as she has no internet access. Rating: 4 / 5 The photography is stunning and the text is is clear.

I contacted the seller and they refunded part of the cost for which I was thankful. Rating: 3 / 5 The book was supposed to be “like new” but instead it was falling apart.
