Top 10 World is a beautifully produced book with fabulous
photographs that will whet your appetite for
travel. Part of the
Eye Witness Travel series, this book is a compendium of captivating sights and experiences from the
five continents of the world.
I consulted it before my trip to
India – the
Taj Mahal appears on the
Delhi pages as
Agra is a day trip away.
Agra also has its own
Red Fort but you have to make some editorial decisions about what to include! The editors state that each of the
ten sights in any section is eaqual and
no hierarchy is implied. each double page spread also includes
Top 10 Historical Landmarks or
Moments in History and other
Top 10 features.
Top 10 World also includes feature articles like
Family Attractions (in Europe) and
Natural Wonders (in The Americas). It is amazing just how much
information you can include within a specific format.
A delightful
book to dip into and take inspiration from,
Top 10 World is an ideal armchair companion for planning
holidays and dreaming...
