I gave this book to my son, who likes to travel. He's been to some of the places shown in the book. The pictures are great and he was very happy to receive the book.
Gave it to a coworker as a retirement gift and he loved it.
Quality hard bound book. I recommend.
It works
I gave this to my son-in-law. He and my daughter get a number of incredible trips each year through his work. There are always other company people on these trips, which they still enjoy. I did include a note with this book, though, that this was to help them plan an incredible trip just for the two of them. They seemed to love that idea. Would recommend this book. It is beautiful and informative.
Did not dislike it, it make a beautiful present for Christmas and the person I gave it picks it up every week and reads about the picture he is looking at. It has fantastic pictures in it, places that all of us would like to see in person, my friend who I gave it to will never be able to see these places because of his heart condition, COPD, and diabetes, but he enjoys this book so much.
After we opened the book, it was really hard to put it down! Full of beautiful pictures of amazing places and some tips on how to visit them. It's a large book and looks great on the coffee table. We had fun looking at places we have been and choosing places we would live to go!
Great for a coffee table or just to browse. I have enjoyed this book; it is always on my living room. My visitors always grab it.
