I ordered this book, expecting a few nice photographs and maybe an idea or two for my next adventure. What I got was a book with over 400 pages and at least 2400 gorgeous full-coulor pictures. Also included are reading and music reccomendations, specific to each country, maps, ideas for what to do once you are there, and tonnes more. I'm considering buying a few more for like-minded family and friends, as the value is incredible for this massive hard cover coffee-table type of book.
