Review: Exactly what I was looking for... - I am planning a year long backpacking trip, and this book is a perfect jumpoff for creating my itinerary. Its only flaw is that every country gets two pages, regardless of its size or travelability (if that's a word). I would expect certain countries to get multiple pages, but I understand how the book might just get too big at that point. This thing is HUGE...which I really like. The pics are beautiful and the information for the most part is very specific. You will find a few overly general statements and recommendations of what to do in a country, but its a flaw easily overlooked when you see how helpful the book as a whole is. I highly recommend it, all my co-workers are constantly putting their greasy little hands on it (Im in Afghanistan so a huge book about awesome places gets a lot of attention). For 30 bucks and free shipping you cant go wrong. Speaking of shipping, this thing got to my base in Afghanistan in 4 days! Go desertcart! Review: Wanderlust Alert! - Loved this book! I have been reading it non-stop since I bought it!! It gives a page for every country there is! There are countries that I didn't even know existed that I MUST see now! Each country's page has a paragraph or so describing the country, the best time to visit, top things to see, top things to do, ways to read, watch, eat, and drink things to immerse yourself in the culture, one word to channel the country, you could say, and also trademarks of the country and a random fact (loved the random facts!). It also lists the capital, population, area size and official language(s). The page includes a map and beautiful pictures of places and people in the country. A great book to spark your love for the world! Definitely would buy this again and purchase it for anyone who loves the idea of or actually traveling\! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #869,272 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #386 in General Africa Travel Books #806 in Travel Pictorial Reference Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 311 Reviews | ## Images ![Lonely Planet The Travel Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61B5xAv10BL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I was looking for... *by J***E on April 8, 2012* I am planning a year long backpacking trip, and this book is a perfect jumpoff for creating my itinerary.
