Description

Named a Best Gift Book/Best Travel Book of the Year by the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Associated Press, House Beautiful, Business Insider, The Daily Beast, Forbes, Fodor's, The Points Guy, Seattle Times, and more

"This is the comfort food of travel books. . . . This book will sweep you off your feet."-New York Times Book Review "Gorgeous . . . breathtaking . . . spectacular."-Publishers Weekly

Patricia Schultz curates the world. When she published the original 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, she created not only a new kind of travel book but also a new way of thinking about our experiences and interests.

Now Schultz captivates our hearts in the same compelling way her original book spoke to our minds. Moving from eloquent word to breath-taking image, she takes us on a visual journey of the best the world has to offer, and as we turn the pages and pore over these images, we feel it all: joy, curiosity, awe, passion, nostalgia (if we've been there), inspiration (because we want to go), and a profound and transforming sense of how lucky we are to live in a world filled with such beauty and wonder-to see tributaries of mist curling over the Great Wall, elephants grazing on the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, the sun setting on the wild coast of Donegal, masked whirling dancers at a festival in Bhutan.

The book itself is a thing of beauty, an oversize feast of more than 1,000 all-new photographs and 544 pages, every spread and page designed to showcase these mesmerizing photographs and hold just enough of Schultz's lively text that we know why it is we're looking at them.

It is a perfect gift for every traveller, every fan of the original, every dreamer whose Instagram feed is filled with pictures of places near and far.

Reviews
"A visual extravaganza! You can't turn a page without wanting to jump on a plane and go!" --Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura "This photographic version of the all-time classic travel book taps into our need to let go of our over-scheduled lives and serendipitously wander, to open the book and effortlessly travel where the pages want to take us." --Samantha Brown, host of PBS's Places to Love "For the past decade and a half, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die has been inspiring travelers across the globe, with dreams of journeys far and near. And thanks to this latest edition, those dreams are going to be in full-color now. Author Patricia Schultz and her team have added stunning photos to the text, for all 1,000 of the places visited (and sometimes multiple photos, in the case of larger destinations such as London). It makes for an even more inspirational jaunt around the planet, one that both avid and armchair travelers will relish. Brava!" --Pauline Frommer, publisher of Frommer's guidebooks and Frommers.com "This new photo-driven edition of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die is a beautiful, easily digestible book that's perfect for any person looking for some travel inspiration. As a world traveler myself, I was able to read this book and add quite a few places that I'd never heard of before to my bucket list!" --Brian Kelly, founder and CEO of the Points Guy

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
