Lots of fun
I have used the earlier edition (1983) of this book for years - not only as a source for places I plan to visit, but as a handy reference when inquiring friends ask for suggestions before embarking on trips or when asking for ideas for pleasure reading. The(1993)later edition is equally valuable. Although the listings are by necessity subjective and limited, the editor has done a great job of selecting titles that are educational, historic, and just plain fun. Her fiction selections include the better-known mystery titles of many countries, which is a delight for those of us who enjoy getting to know a country through less erudite and more so-called "low-brow" means.This book could easily become a necessary and much-used addition to the libraries of most book lovers. ...
