Vestpocket Tokyo, January 5, 2007
This review is from: Lonely Planet Citiescape Tokyo (Lonely Planet Tokyo) (Hardcover)
"Tokyo - Citiescape" from Lonely Planet is a coffee-table book scaled to fit a vest pocket. Each of the forty or so color photographs, the kind that you wish you had the talent to have taken, targets a single aspect of the city's people, culture, or places and is accompanied by text that is appreciative and insightful. My main complaints are that the text is printed in black against blue or silver and, hence, quite difficult to read and that the photo captions, collected at the end of the book, lack sufficient detail. Make no mistake - this is not a guidebook and won't help one wit to navigate this extraordinary city. Rather, I would recommend it as reading before a first trip to prepare for the experiences ahead or after the return to evoke memories of those experiences.
