        This delightful full-color series begins with a list of 10 places not to miss, keyed to chapters where each site is discussed in greater detail. Unique to travel guides, each book describes a perfect day, starting with breakfast and moving through an ideal itinerary for tourists, which includes cultural lessons, food, drinks, shopping, and visits to top sites and experiences. Contents are arranged by area and type of site, followed by a list of experiences covering shopping, entertainment, nightlife, sports, and more. There are pages devoted to food and drink, travel essentials, and accommodations. An in-depth overview of the featured locale is provided, diving into history, culture, and contemporary policies and outlooks. A guide to key attractions, organized by geography or kind of site, makes up the bulk of the book and includes brief explanations of why to visit and what to do there. There's also expansive coverage of shopping, dining, and entertainment. VERDICT These books might fly under the radar but are great additions to all collections, offering readers useful help when planning and a strong sense of place.
