5.0 out of 5 stars the best gift, April 20, 2008

By	Rainy "Gift Giver" (Seattle,WA) - See all my reviews

I did not see the 2006 copy, so the information was new to me. It was the perfect gift for a couple friends that have a taste for travel and the best.
I was impressed that they listed my favorite beer(Westvleteren)as number one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and fun, May 9, 2009

By	Margaret Gayle (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

Lande goes further than you might expect in detailing what is best and why, across a range of travel-related topics. Experienced travelers will find much that's familiar, and even more that is yet untried and ripe for one's "must see, must do" list. Very entertaining; a breeze to read because it's broken into highly consumable small sections.

This book is also a wonderful all-purpose gift for relatives, friends, and even your travel agent, because it has something for everyone who appreciates a bit of sophistication in their travels. Also, the book is composed of high quality paper with graphics throughout to enliven the pages and keep things interesting even for those who don't read a great deal.
