Vrlo zanimljiva knjiga iz koje može mnogo da se sazna, ali i vidi jer je ilustrovana.

Mala zamjerka je što, na zadnjim stranicama knjige, postoji još 280 zanimljivih mjesta koja su samo nabrojana uz kratki opis bez ilustracija. To bi povećalo i broj strana i cijenu knjige, ali bi bilo zanimljivije da su ta i mjesta obrađena kao i prethodna.

Got this book when I was still in grade school and it's another classic from Reader's Digest. Amazing photos, strange lands, mysterious places, both natural and man-made. If I can only visit just one of the featured places, that would be a satisfying achievement indeed. Well, it's not yet late. What's the nearest to where I am? Hmmm, there it is. Angkor!

Coffe table book. Reader's Digest ALWAYS produce a good quality book. If you can't travel much, this book gives a great explaination about foreign places with full-page pictures organically embedded.

There is an updated 2008 version of this that is amazing. It is full of colorful illlustrations of 88 of the most beautiful/amazing places on the planet and a description of it. I have loved reading it and planning my dream trips for the future. Definitely worth checking out.
