"Baechtold's Best" is a revolutionary concept in travel guides. Created exclusively using images and maps, Baechtold introduces the traveller to the best of what each country has to offer. New, less expensive ways of travelling haven't yet been matched by new concepts of travel guides; most guides boast encyclopedic ambitions and fill their pages with lengthy descriptions. By contrast, Baechtold guides are created on the premise that one good photograph and an address are enough to point the intrepid traveller in the right direction. This guide consists of four categories of destinations (People, Nature, Art, and Things) accompanied by a map to get you there. For each subject, Baechtold offers a number of choices and then designates a "best" the country has to offer. Want to pick a poppy? Here's where to find it! That lunch tickle your taste buds? Grab your fork and go!
