There wasn't much to it in the way of actual information, but the pictures were lovely, as expected. I did like that latitude and longitude were included for each destination. It made me feel like a sea captain...arrr.

This book is OK. Not great, just OK. There's very little information about any of the 100 places mentioned, and the photography of the places is not as great as I'd have expected from Life. Mostly I wanted to see how many of the 100 places I'd visited - and that total is 16.

Great inspiration for some daydreaming. I've been to a few of the places mentioned, and there are many more I would love to go and visit. One day...
