Atlas Obscura, 2nd Edition: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders

So many cool things to read about. The book is organized by geographical region so it’s nice to look up some place you might be headed. There are truly some wild things to discover. Nice coffee table kind of book to have laying around and pick up every now and again to read a bit. Some things you read stay with you and you’re like really!?!

Wonderful collection of obscure facts of the world, focusing on unusual geography, civilizations, cultures, buildings, events and more. Round out your worldly knowledge or just enjoy great bathroom reading.

This would be a great gift for any trivia fans. The amount of information in the book was extensive. This also good for history, geography and cartography fans.

Sometimes you need a book like this. I read it and kept count of the number of them I'd actually been to. Some of the entries I wondered by they were in here. "Obscura" not so much. But a worthy purchase.

I think my only negative comment is the length of the book. somewhere in the United States section, I had had enough. The pictures helped break the almost repetitive nature of the books content. Each segment was interesting but weird at times. It was interesting to see what the world is like from another’s perspective.

This is a perfect gift for anyone who loves to travel. Like the original, best-selling Atlas Obscura book, this Second Edition is filled with incredible stories and stunning photos of some of the world's most remarkable places: the Boiling River, the Irish Sky Garden, the Harp Space gun, Skeleton Lake, New Zealand's glowworm caves....Every page is a marvel. The Second Edition has more than 100 new places, as well as a spectacular map and guides to the hidden wonders in a dozen cities. I work for Atlas Obscura, so I am biased, but I promise that the book is marvelous, literally filled with marvels.

My granddaughter wanted it for Christmas. She was thrilled to get it. Beautiful illustrations and unique subjects.

Book arrived quickly, double wrapped. I got lucky on this one as I don’t believe the book had ever been opened—it was perfectly new!

Articolo stupendo e super consigliato per i veri amanti dei viaggi

Perfect gift for a trival or history buff. Well reseached with lots of photos, and easy to consult.

Un livre esthétiquement superbe et un contenu fascinant. L'édition en anglais est largement mieux que l'édition fr.

Depends what you are looking for but is less Hidden wonders and more random and bizarre places.
