5.0 out of 5 stars A truly epic journey, 5 July 2006
By 
D. Sheridan (Newcastle, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Cities Book (Lonely Planet Pictorial) (Hardcover)
Hot on the heels of The Travel Book - an awe-inspiring collection of journeys through every country on earth, comes this similarly wondrous offering from Lonely Planet. As with its global predecessor, The Cities Book is a hefty pictorial hardback that delves into the top 200 cities on earth and, as well as some stunning photography, it doles out helpful pointers on a city's strengths and weaknesses as well as where to eat and what to see. To call this a coffee-table book feels like a slight injustice, but it's incredible attention to detail and the sheer weight of this volume with leave you something close to breathless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Proofreader required, 17 July 2008
By 
Mark Williams (Southampton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Cities Book (Lonely Planet Pictorial) (Hardcover)
The Cities Book is a wonderfull brief look at 200 cities around the world. As I go on 5-6 city trips a year I have found it invaluable as a quick quide to where to visit next. But oh dear, there are so many mistakes here. Both descriptions of cities, misnamed photos, innacurate statistics. Did no one ever proof read this book. Please Lonely Planet, send me the next one and I'll do it for free!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, 5 Jan 2008
By 
This review is from: The Cities Book (Lonely Planet Pictorial) (Hardcover)
I completely agree with bibliobiblio's comments the photos were wrong amongst other things, if you are going to write a book you should do proper research so that you are providing the correct facts and information. When people spend there hard earned money they expect to get a good product not an miserable attempt. Do not buy this book.
