My latest acquisition! It's filled with facts of 230 countries, accompanied by 1200 vivid images. Each country takes up 2 pages. You would think it's not much, it is after all a coffee table book, possibly Lonely Planet's most descriptive so far. And a super-beautiful one at that. Pick up this heavy book and flip to any page you fancy, you'll find something to awe at wishfully.
"Ever since our first, faltering, upright steps, humankind has travelled. Everywhere is migration, exploration, pursuit ... This book seeks to inspire the right kind of travel in today's world ..."
"... using this book to rediscover your favourite places, plan your next adventure, or dream about the places you may never go ..."
It's retailing at RM129/- in your local bookstore. If you've got a copy of today's The Star, you can cut out a coupon which entitles you to 25% discount at Popular bookstores - of which I did and obtained my copy at less than RM100/-!!
The book is worth it if you are the kind that dreams constantly of getting away. If for no other reason, then get this book if only to obtain your piece of the world.
