1,000 Places to See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz (2003, Paperback)

I first became interested in this book when I visited Turkey earlier this year. The hotel we stayed at in Urgup was mentioned in Patricia Schultz' book, as well as other places in Turkey. When I returned to the States, I got the book thru eBay. The book is very comprehensive in covering places around the world, although it was not clear if Schultz had visited every one of these places individually (a seemingly impossible task) or if she had visited most of the places and had relied on friends and articles for those she had not visited. I very much like the format and the short descriptions and will definitely consult this book when planning my next trip (to Nepal in 2009 for the solar eclipse).
