Cute, is the first adjective that comes to mind. Suits best on a doctor’s coffee table somewhere. 🌎

Very good, quick coffee book style read

[Bibliophile]

Very cute and quick read. A book filled with intresting and useful data presented in a simple, graphic and clever way. I've borrowed this book from the library as the title caught my eye. However will definitely buy it and add it to my library for my kids to enjoy aswell. Can never be educated enough :) and this little thing does just that in a fun and simple way.

As a graphic designer and a fact/stat nut, this was an absolute stunning publication. I truly felt like a fascinated kid drooling over all the visuals and data. Excellent designs and a visual feast! Btw, I thought that was how you land a 737. So now I'm ready! :)

I loved all the graphics in this book, the layout of each page was new and unique. The content on each page was interesting and informative, it it is a very useful book when traveling or deciding where to travel.

I give this book 4 stars bcos sometimes, infographics makes boring data and numbers look interesting and useful. Love all the travel facts and figures presented in this book
