I bought this book as a present for my father. Once I got it I was truly amazed. Having information and photographs about almost every single country in the world in one book is a most for all world travelers. I liked it so much that I bought one for myself as well.

Contains wonderful pictures, facts and maps of every country on earth. I never get bored flipping through it. People are always amazed and look through it when they come over to my house, it is always sitting on the coffee table. Well worth the price, perfect for planning your next holiday or if you're just a dreamer like me, this book can take you anywhere. Another great release from the guys at lonely planet.

I own the beautiful hardback copy of this book. I have had it over a year but I never get tired of flipping through it. It is informative and the photos are amazing. My fiancee and I flip through it and dream of our next adventure.

Every country in the world is listed in this book alphabetically from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Each country has a double-page spread with colour photos and a brief description of the country, with advice on the best time to visit, what to eat, drink, listen to etc, and a list of 'essential experiences'. Also what to read if you want to know more about the country. There is no favouratism, every country has the same amount of space regardless of size.
One major irritation for me was the omission of Hawaii. Yes, I know it's part of the USA, but come on, it's thousands of miles from the mainland in the middle of the Pacific, a large collection of islands with a fascinating history and culture of it's own, and I think it should have had its own entry.However, there are lots of other fascinating places listed in here, some of which I had never heard of. I could have done with more views of places, and fewer close-ups of faces and the sides of buildings, but overall I think this book is very good value considering the amount of fascinating information it contains.

This book, in fact, is a very like a kind of reference book of geography rather than a travel book but you can use it to give you a rough idea of the countries you want to visit before you are really going to plan your trip.
Anyway, after reading this book, you will know how large is the world and make you always dream of the next destination for the travellers.
