What an excellent idea, adding 500 color photographs to the hardworking (not to mention talented and charming) Patricia Schultz's already tantalizing roundup of 1,000 great places -- world famous monuments, fine restaurants, essential hotels and extraordinary travel experiences -- complete with a convenient checklist. With 200 new entries, 28 new countries and 200 more pages, each monument, museum, town, trek, or park is nicely described in a few paragraphs, including travel details. Not just for explorers and adventurers, the selections are skewed toward North America and Europe; mortals can imagine actually visiting many of the places. It seems to us that, apart from anything else, this book would make a great parlor game.  (TVL23, $19.95)
