Book Reviews of Lonely Planet The Europe Book (General Pictorial)
Book Review: A Nice Photographic Representation of Europe and its Cultures
Summary: 4 Stars
The book's title does include the words a Journey Through Every Country on the Continent, and as a previous reviewer has pointed out there are some geographically or politically countries found in Europe missing from the book. Which countries make up Europe is always a point of heated discussion when you're anywhere on the continent so this book is simply Lonely Planet's opinion, it includes some such as Turkey and Russia (I've always thought of Russia as in Europe), which a lot of Europeans will tell you aren't in Europe geographically or politically.
Even with the misleading subtitle it's still a great book, ideal for anyone doing a school project or who just wants to see the different cultures of Europe without having to go there. There are some great visual wise photographs of the most visited city and regions attractions in each country. Granted they are all the ideal shot and not what you are likely to capture by camera yourself with great weather, no people if it's a building and if the photos of locals are people usually wearing traditional costumes or their stereotype clothing, which is unlikely to be the case when you actually go there yourself. So I guess staged romanticised photos would be the way to describe them. But they are nice.
There's a smidgen of information on the history, landscape and people, not much though, but similar in standard and length to what you would find in a junior non fiction book on each country, which makes this ideal for primary school children's school projects and the like. If you actually want to go to any of these countries you're going to need to get other books as well as there's a lot of great places to see in each country not mentioned. This book is also a lot taller and heavier than your typical Lonely Planet guidebook.
