Rating:  Summary: Depends on who you are Review: This book is a 5 for beginners, becomes less useful to the more exerienced, but even for a more advanced amateur, it is worth a quick scan of the text for a refresher. Consisting of tips and suggestions, there is not alot of technical data as the various topics are covered, most topics covered in one page of text with a facing page of a couple of photos. The photos do support the topics well enough, such topics as City Vistas; Royal Dwellings; Formal Gardens; In the Rain; Rainbows; Strangers Faces; Close Ups; Dramatic Angles, etc. Look it over at a library or book store, and you'll know whether it will be a carry along pocket guide for you or not.
Rating:  Summary: Decent ideas and tips Review: This is a good, concise book for brushing up and reviewing before you travel and it's also useful for suggestions and ideas when shooting while travelling.
Rating:  Summary: Gave me some good ideas Review: This was the first photography book that I bought because I was going on a trip to Barcelona, Spain and I thought that I could use some ideas or suggestions on how to make my pictures better. I read this book cover to cover after first looking at the beautiful color pictures which gave me some inspiration for what I could try to do. The book is broken down into specific tips for things you may encounter while on a trip like rainbows, stained glass, landscapes and also general tips at the end. I would say that the information was useful because my pictures were better overall. I don't know if this is the best travel photography book because I haven't read any others, but I would say that it is definately a solid start.
