Big, Colorful Pictures, and very nicely organized. This book allows you to concentrate on one area and then allows you to concentrate on another locale or surrounding locations, making it extremely easy to create a travel itinerary. Maps are numbered to show places of interest and major roadways. It also gives you detail on the historical places or places of interest to see in an area. Unlike most travel books this book is not simply filled with restaurants and hotels, it has a brief but extremely informative history of the nation, which gives you a feel for the nation's culture. My husband got me this book for Christmas as we are planning a trip to Ireland, and it has been a fabulous help in planning a vacation in an extremely short time. We have the identical book on Great Britain from National Geographic and both have been of great value to us.

If you plan to purchase several guides to Ireland, this one would be worth adding to your collection. The photographs are beautiful, and the descriptions of sites of interest, while not the most in-depth around, are certainly more than adequate for a book of this type. If you are like me and your budget allows for 2, maybe 3 books, and you are trying to choose from the almost overwhelming number of guidebooks available these days, this is one you can probably skip. The practical information is quite limited compared to other guides, especially with regard to places to stay or eat. This would be an enjoyable book to peruse at home both before and after your trip, and it would be great for an armchair traveler, but I can't see it making its way into many suitcases. It's heavy, and its usefulness once you are in Ireland is limited. If you enjoy a visual, heavy on photographs travel guide, I would recommend you check out Eyewitness Travel's guide to Ireland first. The Eyewitness guides are also gorgeous to look at and fun to read, but a lot more practical.

This product was sent in a timely manner, it was in excellent condition, and it was a wonderful price.
Very happy with this transaction :) Thanks!

What a great bargain. In the book store this item was $35.00. I purchased this book from you for $7.99. The book was National Geographic's Traveler Ireland. Thanks so much

I think these Nat Geo books are the best. Not for hotels or restaurants, but outstanding for deiscovering sights that appeal to you with their fantastic photos of each place they review.

As one would expect, National Geographic did an excellent job on the Ireland book. The photos are beautiful and the information is excellent. It's a good book to have in my collection of travel resources.
