Review: 1,000 Places To See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz

Patricia Schultz’s bestselling 1,000 Places to See Before You Die has recently been re-released in the form of a full-color second edition. The book, which has spawned a number of knock-offs, is so much more than just a simple travel guide. Each entry not only tells the reader why the place should be visited but also the pertinent information such as websites, phone numbers and the best time to place a visit. Plus, this new version includes 200 additional pages covering 28 new countries. The book covers everything from the Great Mosque in Mali to the Denali National Park in Alaska.

I recently received a copy of this awesome "travel Bible", and almost immediately, I was blown away by the gorgeous photos, detailed descriptions, and the amount of expertise the author shows within the pages of this well-laid out book.

One of the things I love the most is that the book is very easy to navigate. It's separated by geographical region, which makes planning a trip super-easy and convenient, and allows you to map out places to visit and see while you're on vacation. "1,000 Places To See Before You Die" also takes the guesswork out of your travels by suggesting the best months to visit, approximate hotel and lodging costs, and even telephone numbers to various establishments. This makes creating an entire trip itinerary easy and relatively painless.

Some of the places on MY must-see list include Kangaroo Island in Australia, Sedona, Arizona, and Acadia National Park, just to name a few. I'd also love to visit Italy, Greece, and Poland. Using this handy guide, I can learn all about these places and so many more. While I may not get to see many of them in person, I can definitely daydream!

Plus, this book is just plain beautiful. it is laid out in such an attractive way, making it perfect for gift giving.
