I love travel stories and Conde Nast has put together a collection from all parts of the world. I recommend this for anyone interested in travel (from the comforts of their couch) and those who are interested in writing about their travels. A fine varied example of writing styles.

The book gave a nice synopsis of various places. It was a view not usually seen by regular tourists. One article even discussed safety precautions where most articles don't.
