Great bedtime reading - one trek each night..
Good photographs, good layout and data.
I would like to have known a bit more about the overnight options, camping areas etc. But difficult to fault otherwise.

These are definitely not day treks, but multi-day (or week) backpacking expeditions, most of which are too intense for me. But this book did give me so great trip and scaled-down backpacking and hiking ideas!

This book has a wide variety of ideas for longish treks around the world. Best of all, it has a section to get more information.
