Dækker 193 lande som defineret ud fra FN's listen+ 38 flere, som også fortjener titlen i et vist omfang, England, Skotland, Wales, Hong Kong, Antarktis, Grønland, osv + tretten bonus destinationer, der ikke er lande. Hvert land får to opslag om det så er Danmark eller Indien.

Smuk bog, der godt kan ligge på sofabordet et stykke tid, med mindre selvfølgelig rejsekassen er helt tom.

The 1,200 photographs in this book are, for the most part, mouth-watering, and I like the egalitarian design (the countries are listed in alphabetical order, and each one gets two pages, no matter the size or population or relative fame). A word to the easily offended: there are several photos of

bare-breasted women and at least one of nude children.

Certainly this book whets a person's appetite for international travel. As a travel guide it's not very useful, since there's only bits of information on each nation, but it's wonderful browsing and would probably be good for people trying to make up their minds on where they want to go.
