Reviews

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

The photo are what make this book worth it. While the text is a bit dated it is still relevant enough to read and get a teaser of what to see and do beyond the bewildering array of information found in guidebooks. Super easy read and pretty short too.

A lavishly illustrated coffee table book.
