The Travel Book

For Christmas, Katie bought me an amazing travel book, appropriately titled The Travel Book by Lonely Planet. Perhaps as a way to curb my obsession with reading travel guidebooks, I received the ultimate all-inclusive guide to the world. This book covers every single country in the world, even the small obscure islands I never even knew existed. Anyone heard of Comoros & Mayotte? or Réunion? Each country page details the best time to visit, essential experiences, trademarks, and surprises, in addition to vivid photographs of the architecture, the landscape, the people....Plus it doubles as an excellent coffee table book.
