"The hottest coffee-table travel tome."
*The Scotsman*
"A reference guide to the world, with a bite-sized breakdown on
each of the world’s countries, Lonely Planet’s The Travel Book is a
bookshelf essential for gourmet travellers and the just-published
2016 edition is no exception. Slick photography and pithy summaries
of what to see and do (as well as eat and drink) makes it an ideal
starting point for trip-planning. Did you know that Angola has,
historically, been one of the world’s biggest coffee producers, or
that if you drink tea around a Tuareg campfire in Algeria you’ll
need to wait for it to be poured three times? You will."
*Olive Magazine*
"Anyone who has childhood memories of leafing through reference
books full of brightly coloured pictures and exotic facts from
far-away lands (Encyclopaedia Britannica or Funk& Wagnalls,
anyone?) will know the pleasure that awaits in Lonely Planet’s new
edition of The Travel Book … The 2016 update on the publisher’s
classic million-selling coffee table tome is one to treasure, for
both curious adults and children…It’s a great place to start plans
and dreams."
*The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald*
"Books will never die out as long as beauties such as Lonely
Planet's The Travel Book exists. More than a coffee table book,

armchair traveller…this guide is more compelling than ever. The
book evokes the spirit of each place and has information for the
senses: what to eat and drink, which books and music will enhance
your visit and fabulous images."
