This is a beautiful book that travels the world through pictures. I got this book for my toddler as we study different parts of the world together. He finds the photos and information fascinating, which is a testament to how good it is.

The first time I bought this book used, it came damaged so I sent it back with prime and got a new one. This book is very beautiful, well written and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. It's very inspirational and was so exciting seeing all the places I've been already and places I still would like to go. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to travel.

Haven't had time to get too far into this book yet. I've been to a lot of the places featured in this book and I don't find it gives too much of the variables in each place. It has made me want to see some different places though.

Great coffee table book, it’s been on my coffee table for couple years now. I read, learn and check mark after places I visit. I’m visual person so this book has great big colourful pictures. I need to get one more updated one but this one I love too much.

Photography is unbelievably beautiful, as usual for for National Geographic books.Excellent discount price.Big and heavy would be ideal as a coffee table book even suitable for a professional waiting room

Travel while not leaving your house! Gorgeous photos of all kinds of places with descriptions! A great coffee-table book!

I saw this book in the National Geographic museum in DC. One of my sister's bought one and loves it. When I saw it online for considerably less, I had to order a copy for my other sister. I had it sent to her for her birthday, and she absolutely loves it! She said it was the best Birthday present yet!
