 Travel from the viewpoint of the time of year September 18, 2008
Book is very well conceived and the pictures, lay out, details, etc is outstanding. In that respect it is both a great "coffee table" addition or an useful dream or travel tool. Should highlight that the book is not confined to the usual travel destinations, which is a big big plus. With regards to the content which it is not as detailed as someone could expect I will point out that this is not a travel guide but a reference tool which I think does a great job at pointing out the "when" for a variety of travel options. My basic criticism is that although for the most part it does a very good job at explaining the rationale behind why a particular date is recommended for a given location, it does not consistently highlights other suitable periods of the year for such location and in a few instances I got the feeling that the date suggested obeyed more to the need to put something in a particular month rather than an specific advantage of the date. But all in all is a great reference in a subject often overlooked - rather than saying When is the best time to go to Cinque Terre? it is positioned to look at it from - What's a good place to go this month?.
Have tips for trips to come July 10, 2008
Nice book to read with a cup of coffee. Good photos and ideas for future travels.
 Beautiful Book May 8, 2008
This is just a gorgeous book. There is much information to be gotten by merely looking at the pictures. I've enjoyed flipping through it over and over again.
 Disappointed, as the title led me to believe it would be more March 22, 2008

The photography is fantastic and the festivals described are inviting and interesting, however I expected to have a little more information when purchasing such a large book. It is not cram packed with facts, just places and only simple reasons to visit areas "when". I just expected so much more.
MASTERPIECE of 'coffee table' travelling books March 11, 2008

A truly masterpiece among the travel books. The selection and mix of pictures with useful information is spectacular. Let's take an example, page 150/151; Yunnan in China. At one glance i geat a pretty good picture of the area with 9 pictures plus a world map and the location of Yunnan. I can find easily Dos and Don'ts, getting there, getting around and what not to miss. This book finds the perfect balance between a large collection of travel ideas and sufficient information on the recommended location. Many other books simply overload the reader with too many ideas while not providing sufficient pictures/information. With'Where To Go When, DK achieved a masterpiece among travel books!
