 Rating:  - Understanding through picturesI like pictures. I understand a place I am visiting when I see it and not just have it described in words. This series of books are idea for those of us who want to know the history and context of what we're seeing. More than a Lonely Planet Guide to the best hostels in the world, this series provides a comprehensive guide to what to see and why. Rating:  - Good Supplement to a Human GuideThis book looks nice, feels nice, and I suppose might taste nice.

The little information this book did provide on Ephesus was something any taxi driver could have told us. |
