Customer Review #1:
Very good
You wont agree with many of the choices in this book, and a lot of the information can be found simply by searching the net, but even so it is well worth the money I spent. To have all of this information in one place is great, and while a lot of the choices may seem obvious, there are quite a few off the beaten path. Overall this was very well put together and I would recommend it to both well-traveled individuals and those who are only just starting out.Also recommended: The Da Vinci Code, Bark of the Dogwood by McCrae, and The Five People you Meet in Heaven--not travel books, but something to read along the way!

 May I Live to be 100!
I LOVE this book. I have looked at it daily ever since I purchased it. I truly have never been that big on "seeing the world," but I intend to make time for it now.I knew, obviously, about a great many of the places prior to reading this book, however Ms. Schultz takes the reader on a global safari with each turn of the page. The book does NOT include ONLY 5 Star hotels (but hey, they work for me!), but also includes ingenious (for brave souls) hotels such as the Ice Hotel in Sweden, etc. At almost 1000 pages (at a reasonable cost) this book is wonderfully concise. It serves as a great starting point with website info for each attraction when available. Im glad that Im married to a pilot. Ive already informed him that I can finish the list if I can only live to 100.... This book is one of the best investments that I have made.

Exciting, Balanced, Varied, For all Budgets
My hat goes off to this sensitve traveler who spent a life time compiling her own favorite thousand places to see. Do we have to agree? No, but who couldnt find a few hundred suggestions to keep them busy for the next many decades? Whats with those who complain about her hotel suggestions? The worlds great hotels are always expensive - they are often historic, landmark palaces that promise romance and luxury. Too expensive? Then go elsewhere, but at least stop in for tea or an aperetivo to soak it all in and people watch. Her emphasis is almost always elsewhere - from festivals to ancient temples, and little known sites of natural beauty and open-air markets. Frankly Im incredulous any one person could put it all together. No one else ever attempted such a feat - and successfully so in my book.
