John asked:

At what age would children enjoy this book? I'm thinking of it as a gift to a 12-year-old.

Busmun thinking back to my 12 year old self: I'd pour through this volume with reckless abandon, stop eating, get out the flashlight!
Joshua I think it would probably work out for a 12 year old. It's very informational dense, like a textbook, but with interesting and weird stuff. I would see it as the equivalent of maybe gifting the Guinness Book of World Records but as a travel book.
