The articles themselves are interesting enough, and there is a good variety of places, ranging from mythical to historical, natural to architectural, and famous to obscure. An enjoyable book, considered for what it's meant to be -- i.e., the sort of book you pick up and browse through, reading for a few minutes at a time rather than cover-to-cover.
