I have just traveled to India between the covers of this stunning book: India, by Oliver Follmi (2005). The photography in this book is amazing, displaying the beauty and diversity of this enormous country.

I love cities, and The Cities Book: A Journey Through the Best Cities in the World (2006) published by Lonely Planet takes us to 200+ cities of all sizes around the world. This is a follow-up book to The Travel Book: A Journey Through Every Country in the World (2005) that covers 230 different countries.

Closer to home, enjoy the view in Panoramic Parks: An Appreciation of Cincinnati's Parks (2005), by Thomas R. Schiff, or go to each of Ohio's 88 counties to see Ohio's Bicentennial Barns (Beth Gorczyca, 2003).

You could go out west and explore with Bart Smith Along the Pacific Crest Trail (1998), or take off on a train trip in Great American Rail Journeys (2000).

Travel in library books: it's free, there are no timetables, and you don't need to worry about learning how to get by in another language. Have a great trip!
