This is a beautiful book that travels the world through pictures. I got this book for my toddler as we study different parts of the world together. He finds the photos and information fascinating, which is a testament to how good it is.

This book contains hundreds of magnificent pictures of the most beautiful places on Earth along with inspiring narratives of each locale. You will want to spend many hours looking through and reading about the most beautiful places in the World. The perfect gift book or just treat yourself to the delicious scenery!

I gave this to my travel agent friend and although she has been to quite a few places this tome is a lovely reminder of places visited or a bucket list for places one must visit.

Travel while not leaving your house! Gorgeous photos of all kinds of places with descriptions! A great coffee-table book!

The first time I bought this book used, it came damaged so I sent it back with prime and got a new one. This book is very beautiful, well written and the pictures are absolutely gorgeous. It's very inspirational and was so exciting seeing all the places I've been already and places I still would like to go. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to travel.

Great coffee table book, it’s been on my coffee table for couple years now. I read, learn and check mark after places I visit. I’m visual person so this book has great big colourful pictures. I need to get one more updated one but this one I love too much.

Photography is unbelievably beautiful, as usual for for National Geographic books.Excellent discount price.Big and heavy would be ideal as a coffee table book even suitable for a professional waiting room
