This review is from: Photo Archive of Famous Places of the World (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)

When I saw this book, I immediatly realized what a great idea it could be to keep track of the places I travelled to. The book contains over 120 black and white photographs that capture the most famous sites of the world: in USA, Mexico, Europe, North Africa, Asia, Australia and Pacific. What I do is I record in the book a date when I visited the specific place and brief memories associated with my visit. The book also keeps me motivated to go places where I have not gone yet. What is not great about the book is that there are much more other beatiful places which are not included. But... maybe you could be the one to update the book for any new places you have discovered.
