Great book
I bought this as a gift for my dad‘s 79th birthday. He started browsing in the book right away. As you know from national geo: great pictures and great descriptions. It allows you to travel a bit without leaving your house. If you or Theo Krebses recipient love seeing different places around the world and reading about them in a non influencer way, this is great!! It’s a large, heavier size, too making it a great coffee table book. I plan to buy one for us when we have a coffee table again ha.
