This is a great guide. It is quick and easy to leaf through - a good coffee table book- but it also has really practical, useful knowledge for planning a trip to one of the many destinations. It is a good way to skim through and get an overview of the places you are thinking about traveling before you set in stone where you are going.

This book is a quick, cheap round-the-world trip (via amazon.com)
