Inspirational dip in to reading - By: Kevin Roberts, 29 Aug 2008 
This book is great, there is a big wide world out there & dipping into this when you have 5 minutes you are sure to find something to excite & interest you.
Obviously its not a guide bookin the true sense but there are some fantastic sound bite nuggetsin there that have inspired about 5 years worth of future holidays for me.
Amazing world! - By: vh1967, 24 Aug 2008 
This book is massive: make sure you have a strong coffee table! It has lots of places you have never heard ofin it with really useful ideas why you should go at that time of year. I noticed one error where they put you should go to place Xin May but the wrote up wasin the Feb section; this only happened once although I have not yet read all of it.
Inspirational - By: G. Town, 28 Dec 2007 I love this book; the romantic style of writing & stunning photography makes you want to travel immediately!
There is good coverage of the whole world, including a decent section on the UK, & includes a wide variety of experiences from hang-glidingin Rio de Janeiro to ghost-huntingin York, to camel ridingin Oman, & it also includes festivals.
It is beautifully presented with stunning photography & has experiences arranged by countryin the index which makes navigating the book easier. It also includes an appendix with a few lines of useful information about each experience, for example a website.
This book is not one that provides much practical information for planning a trip, but is perfect to give inspiration for where to go/what to do next!
Yes, but how to do it and stay green? - By: Natureboy, 09 Oct 2007 
As you might expect from the Rough Guide, this is a pretty dependable guidein terms of its facts & figures, although as with any '10/100/1000 ultimate' experiences, it's entirely subjective. Furthermore, there's the added trouble nowadays of seeing something of the world without messing it up for future generations (and hey, our own too). Couple this with the vexed question of whether making the most of your time on earth is actually limited to going to see all the places everyone else goes to see, & you've got yourself into a bit of a hole. I personally got more out of the book "Places to Hide" by Dixe Wills which covers some more eclectic (and thus more intriguing) destinations within Britain that you can get to without hopping onto a plane - give it a whirl.
