I'd love it if the sections dedicat..."
Chronicle Books - Wanderlust Travel Journal

See the World

"See the World is from the Icon series of paperbacks. It has no words or introduction; just images of advertising used in the 40's and 50's by airlines urging people to try out the latest form of transportation to see exotic locales. It also contains advertising images for bus, train and shipping companies. Gives a very good feel for the time, and the embrace of a global world by aspiring grap..."

Point It Book
2 recommendations
"A pocket-sized book of images of things you might find yourself in need of when you're traveling somewhere but don't know the language. Need a bandage in Germany? An umbrella in Japan? A steak in Brazil? Just point to the picture! It has saved me more than a couple of times. Great for us Americans who can't be bothered trying to learn someone else's native language."
