 Big disappointment August 20, 2008
Willie K. Friar (Panama City, RP)
I bought this book and find it absolutely useless. If you expect to learn something about a country this is not the book for you. It is a big waste of money. A huge heavy book that will gather dust on your coffee table. Very little information about the countries. I found it absolutely uselss and rather typical of the out-of-date information that Lonely Planet turns out today. If you are a traveler and want to learn something about the countries of the world, find another book. Very sorry that I bought it.
 Great travel book August 4, 2008
C. Hendrickson (Langhorne, PA USA)
This book is excellent for anyone who has a good sense of wanderlust. It gives a good snippit for each country and the pictures are beautiful. You will be planning trips in no time!
Breath-taking photographs July 28, 2008
Elisa Devera
High-fives and congrats to the smart people at Lonely Planet Publications. This beautifully photographed book is a treasure that you must see for yourself. The somewhat plain cover hides the wonder you'll find inside. Every country is included with multiple photographs and brief, but relevant (and sometimes humorous) information. This is not a detailed book to use when planning a trip. It is a starting place for travelers and armchair dreamers. There is beauty in every country in the world and the proof is within these pages. Buy multiple copies. You'll want one to keep and several to give away as gifts to anyone interested in travel or photography.
 Great coffee table book July 28, 2008
Sabrina Ramirez (Oakland, CA USA)
My family and I are avid travelers. I bought this book for my dad for Christmas.I just had to have a copy, too. It's nice to have a resource for planning new adventures!

I just received my book and as many reviews state, yes it has wonderful pictures but as far as detail for a travel book, not something that you would want to use as a referance book. It's better for the coffee table than for anything else. I would recommend this for someone who does not travel as it is essentially useless to someone who goes out into the world and sees it for themselvs. I have been to 16 countries and will be going to 7 more and the only thing that I liked about it is the pictures and how it describes American cities as dangerous. As many travel agencies and airlined caution, you are now entering the United States of America.
