1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler's Life List

From: $5.99

Introducing the Eighth Wonder of travel books, the New York Times bestseller that's been hailed by CBS-TV as one of the best books of the year and praised by Newsweek as the "book that tells you what's beautiful, what's inspiring, what's fun and what's just unforgettable everywhere on earth."

Packed with recommendations of the world's best places to visit, on and off the beaten path, 1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE is a joyous, passionate gift for travelers, an around-the-world, continent-by-continent listing of beaches, museums, monuments, islands, inns, restaurants, mountains, and more. There's Botswana's Okavango Delta, the covered souks of Aleppo, the Tuscan hills surrounding San Gimignano, Canyon de Chelly, the Hassler hotel in Rome, Ipanema Beach, the backwaters of Kerala, Oaxaca's Saturday market, the Buddhas of Borobudur, Ballybunion golf club-all the places guaranteed to give you the shivers.

The prose is gorgeous, seizing on exactly what makes each entry worthy of inclusion. And, following the romance, the nuts and bolts: addresses, phone and fax numbers, web sites, costs, and best times to visit.

This is a really neat book! It would be great to see this with slick pages and color photos...but that would really jack up the price.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 04, 2008 Type: User Review Fun to read.. but a real travel guide?

As an armchair traveller, I had a lot of fun reading this book and its sequel, "1001 Places.. in the US and Canada". The entries are divided into continents, and further grouped by countries. The information is plentiful, with photos, websites,...
