1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler’s Life List (Paperback)

A quick sampling: Venice’s Cipriani Hotel; California’s Monterey Peninsula; the Lewis and Clark Trail in Oregon; the Great Wall of China; Robert Louis Stevenson’s home in Western Samoa; and the Alhambra in Andalusia, Spain. Veteran travel guide writer Schultz divides the book geographically, presenting a little less than a page on each location. (more…)

Good or Bad, or just both
This book is a little bit of good and a little bit bad. I read future reviews about it and they all said that it had to many hotels.

All in all, a pretty fun, useful book. While it shouldn’t be used as the ultimate resource for any adventure, it still offers some great suggestions and tips.

Total, total waste of time — it’s about hotels
I love the title — bought it and looked forward to reading it. What a huge disappointment. It seemed mainly to tell you what hotels/inns you shouldn’t miss.

A cornucopia of amazing places
This a fun book. You could make up your own trivial pursuit games from its 894 pages. Where is…? What is…? and so forth.
