Summary: Great Book from a Great Author
Review: I could rave about this book in so many different ways! The organization is wonderful, the advice Sangster offers is practical, and his style is extremely encouraging. Unlike many other travel advice books, Sangster does not come across as a travel snob nor does he talk down to his readers nor is he intimidating with his approach.Additionally, Robert Sangster is also accessible to his readers. I sent him an email, commending him on such a wonderful book and shared with him my up-coming travel plans. Within a short time, he replied personally, offering additional advice (even though I really hadn't asked for it) and wishing me the best on my travels. I highly recommend this book for every possible reason. Happy trails!

Summary: Dreaming of traveling? This book is for you.
Review: I first ran across this book a few years ago when I had just been bitten by the travel bug, but did not know how to plan or to pack. This book was a wonderful introduction to traveling; full of stories advice by the author from his extensive travels through the world. Those who are still unsure about traveling will find themselves steadied by the introductory chapters which suggest reasons for traveling. What is even better is that the author makes very good suggestions as to how to pack and what essentials to bring. Things that you may not have thought of bringing that you will find useful. Plus for someone just beginning to travel, such a well though out list is a great help. Although I have now lived on three different continents and traveled extensively, I still find myself referring to the lists of things to pack or the suggestions for how to find inexpensive fares. So, even seasoned travelers will still find this book a good resource. If you are just thinking of traveling in the world or have already been bitten by the bug, I highly recommend this great resource as an aid for your travel plans.

Summary: What a great resource!!!
Review: I really think this is a good basic book. I am an experienced traveler and I still found many valuable insights, useful web pages, and helpful tidbits. The bibliography at the end of the book is worth the price alone. It has many valuable resources and lists hard to find periodicals and newsletters. I found Chapter 14, "Woman On Her Own" especially helpful for the trip I am planning now. It gives advice for the solo woman traveler.
The multitude of checklists is also very helpful. I heartily recommend this book to new and seasoned travelers.

Summary: Incredible Travel Resource
Review: Quite possibly the best and most useful general travel reference book that I have seen. It has basics for planning, preparing for, and going on your trip. Outstanding bibliography and checklists. This book will serve as a great introduction to all aspects of trip planning, but you will probably want to consult other resources for further information about specific topics (such as courier flights, packing, rail travel, destinations).
