5.0 out of 5 stars A truly epic journey, 5 Jul 2006
By D. Sheridan (Newcastle, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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 Jul 2008
By Mark Williams (Southampton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Let down slightly by photographs, 17 May 2007
By Mrs. Vicki Woolven "woolven" (Ipswich, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a really readable interesting book - it is not too text heavy! I love sitting in the garden flicking through it deciding which city I'd like to visit next. My only gripe is with the photographs - having visited many of cities in the book I think there are more stunning buildings that could have been photographed (but then I suppose these pictures are found in all guide books!) Certainly by no means comprehensive but will definitely get the wanderlust in you going.
