Too Little About Too Much
I borrowed this book from the local library and found it to be one of the most unwieldly books in existence!

Substantial Yet Inadequate
“The Travel Book” is a Lonely Planet book with much promise and many features to recommend it: it also falls short in a number of areas.

Great book! Lots of great pictures and helpful information
This is a great book with lots of helpful, yet basic, information about each place. It is a lot of fun to open up to a random page and read about a country that you may have…

Don’t purchase from this seller
I never got the book. Contacted seller twice and was ignored. Amazon.com customer service also ignored me.

I was surprised so many people critiqued this book as if it could even begin to be a comprehensible travel book for the ENTIRE WORLD.
