About the Book:
Around the World, continent by continent, here is the best the world has to offer, 1,000 places guaranteed to give travelers the shivers: sacred ruins, grand hotels, wildlife preserves, hilltop villages, snack shacks, castles, festivals, reefs, restaurants, cathedrals, hidden islands, opera houses, museums, and more.
Entries can be broad in scope -- "Rocky Mountain National Park" -- or narrow -- "The Art Institute of Chicago." Each entry tells exactly why it's essential to visit. Then come the nuts and bolts: addresses, websites, phone and fax numbers, best times to visit.
Broken into convenient geographic chapters -- Europe; Africa; The Middle East; Asia; Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands; The United States of America and Canada; Latin America; and The Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda.
Stop dreaming and get going!
Note: The Travel Channel cable tv network will be premiering a new series, based on the contents of this book, in the Spring of 2007.

Reader Comments:
Far more than merely a book that helps you plan a specific trip, this book provides inspiration for planning trips that could impact every travelers life. I highly recommend it. My only complaint is that I would have enjoyed seeing color photos throughout. -- Scott C.
