Title: Nice book for browsing, not much detail
Review: Interesting, good photos, not really much info on each site. Granted there are 500 hundred of them, but if theyâd made each of the 500 numbers smaller they could have added another paragraph per site. Some sites, itâs not even clear where they are (like Christ Church), so had to google to figure it out.Nice book to browse through though. Iâve been to about 50 of the places listed and disagree with the list. For example Iâd put La Sagrada Familia in my top 10 and itâs not in the book. No Notre Dame eitherâ¦

Title: Very poorly written. Inferior to 1st Edition in every respect
Review: Very poorly drafted. Photo quality and text poor. Does not compare to 1st Edition. Returned book and we will not buy again. The authors do not come across as well seasoned travelers (even if they are), unlike the 1st Edition.

Title: Not much detail but good read
Review: I received this book as a birthday gift. As I was reading and going through half the book I noticed an error.On page 51, the picture of a blue-ish lake with surrounded by beautiful mountains is called Moraine Lake, not Lake Louise. Both are located in Banff, Alberta. Both are amazing lakes to see! I have been to Both and by far my fav place to visit. Definitely looking forwarded to visit all of these places. Although I wish it had more details in it. Good book though.

Title: Received dirty book
Review: I received this book with stains a long the back. I do not have the means to return it I already gave it as a gift to a child and did not notice the stains until the person I gave it to sent me photos. I am embarrassed and not sure why those stains were there. Is there any way I can get compensated for this book? Thank you.
