1,000 Places to See Before You Die (Deluxe Edition): The World as You've Never Seen It Before Hardcover – Illustrated, October 29, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
“This is the comfort food of travel books. . . . This book will sweep you off your feet.”—New York Times Book Review
“Gorgeous . . . breathtaking . . . spectacular.”—Publishers Weekly
Patricia Schultz curates the world. When she published the original 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, she created not only a new kind of travel book but also a new way of thinking about our experiences and interests.
Now Schultz captivates our hearts in the same compelling way her original book spoke to our minds. Moving from eloquent word to breathtaking image, she takes us on a visual journey of the best the world has to offer, and as we turn the pages and pore over these images, we feel it all: joy, curiosity, awe, passion, nostalgia (if we’ve been there), inspiration (because we want to go), and a profound and transforming sense of how lucky we are to live in a world filled with such beauty and wonder—to see tributaries of mist curling over the Great Wall, elephants grazing on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, the sun setting on the wild coast of Donegal, masked whirling dancers at a festival in Bhutan.
The book itself is a thing of beauty, an oversize feast of more than 1,000 all-new photographs and 544 pages, every spread and page designed to showcase these mesmerizing photographs and hold just enough of Schultz’s lively text that we know why it is we’re looking at them. It is a perfect gift for every traveler, every fan of the original, every dreamer whose Instagram feed is filled with pictures of places near and far.

I saw a lot of people having damaged book spines and all that but The book arrived in mint condition has been browsed a couple of times now and nothing has suggested that it will fall apart! :)
I started out with '1000 Places to See Before You Die' Paperback - which was given to me as a retirement gift ..
Then I started annual gifting to myself the '1000 Places Calendar...' in 2016-2019,
I only leave pages of the places I've not been to and the annual calendar is left with dates/places I need to go to.
Fortunately, each year the list is shrinking !!
And Now - I've graduated to this Amazing Book highlighting '1000 Places to See Before You Die'.
This book's design will open your eyes through photos and a short description of the places and a recommendation
list of 'Must Do's' !
My next 'assignment' is to go through the book and highlight with a 'post it' the places I've not traveled to and
START MAKING MORE TRAVEL PLANS!!!
This World is an Amazing Place !!!!!!
Wonderful Sights; Great Culinary Delights; Tremendous opportunities to Meet & Make New Friends !!
Soooooooooo - this book is a GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT to GIVE to ANYONE!!
Anyone Reading it - Will learn that we're more alike than different and will gain a new appreciation for Travel !!
I'm looking forward to spending sometime going through this book and reliving the places I've been & dreaming about the next places I need to go and see!
