- Too Little About Too Much
I borrowed this book from the local library and found it to be one of the most unwieldly books in existence! It weighs a freakin' ton and needs to be put on a table (instead of your lap) to look at. Totally impractical. Additionally, the photos for the most part aren't all that great. Information is minimal. What irritates me most is each country's skeletal map which doesn't show it's relationship to the rest of the world. Oh sure, you can go back to map of the world at the front of the book and ...

They include music and books to listen to a read before you head over, sayings, cultural facts and pictures. I have thoroughly enjoyed owning this book and I have received nothing but compliments on it each time a friend stops by. If ... Read More
