I bought this book to get travel ideas. I was not disappointed. It included several terrific places that I've already gone to such as Paris and Cartagena, Colombia, several places I've already planned to go to such as Guilin, China and Kauai and dozens of beautiful places I had never known about before. Only 20 of the places are from the United States so it does a good job of depicting places from every continent except the south pole.

The photos, for the most part, are high quality and beautiful. The only drawback is that there is only one picture of each location with only a one paragraph description of each place. Although you will have to do more research on your own if you are interested in actually going there, this is a very good place to get started.

Another good book is "Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die" which only has 40 places, but has multiple photos of each place as well as a six to eight page description of each place. There's not that much overlap since only about 15 places are in both books.

I ordered my copy direct from Time Life and it came in the mail yesterday; I was truly impressed; I heard about the Seychelles Islands, but who knew it was that lovely; the flat as pancake Maldive Islands impressed me as well; How they got through the tsunami is nothing short but a miracle; To see the pictures of these islands are beautiful. Closer to home, The Natchez Trace and how it started really impressed me to check it out; Of course, The Grand Canyon, Statue of Liberty(which I've been to) was all interesting; Highly recommended for the wanderlust among us;

This book is very disapponting. The 100 places picked most of the times are over rated and the pictures in it are poor. Also the list forgets about magnificent places in the world, one of them is Angel Falls in Venezuela, the largest fall in the world in the middle of the jungle. I think it must e reviewed.

We all have opinions but I didnt enjoy this book at all.

The product was in great condition. Most of the pictures are really amazing, but others could definitely be better. Also, I feel like some major places are missing. Other than that, it is pretty incredible.

I saw this book at my daughter's home and I knew I wanted one. Since then I have been looking and trying to get it....and now I have it! It's so enjoyable to look at parts of the world I cannot visit at this time in life. How beautiful creation is!

The photos in this book are absolutely amazing! It is a beautiful and interesting book to put out on your coffee table with a variety of different illustrations. Sure, there's not a lot of text, but I think it's pretty clear that it's intended to be a coffee table-like picture book.

What amazing value for money this book is. Each page is full of the photo and the information and description is kept to a minimum so as not to spoil any part of the scenery. It reminds me how beautiful this planet is.I bought it for my nephew who is 11 years old. At school he learns about the world that we as humans have created - the history, the economics and the suffering. This book and its pictures will show him true natural beauty of places that humans have not spoilt and I hope for future adventures for his life as a young man. Amazon never fail to deliver quality. Thanks again. Excellent.

I bought this book for just a table book for people to look at and it's just that. People love to pick it up and look at the beautiful pictures inside. Makes you want to take a journey.

The pictures in this book are gorgeous. I have become obsessed with traveling to these places.

First, it took forever to get this book shipped and then when I did receive it - what a disappointment. Most of the photos are poor, lots of "noise" in most enlargments - which is very surprising for "Life". Second, there is very little written information.
