  • Beautiful Travel Inspiration Book
Format: Hardcover
This coffee table book filled with stunning photographs of iconic and lesser-known destinations around the world exceeded my expectations. The images are vivid and immersive, making it easy to flip through and feel transported to each locale. The accompanying travel notes and tips added context that made the book more than just a picture collection. It has become a regular part of my reading and has inspired several ideas for future trips. Overall it’s a well-made, visually rich volume that’s worth having on hand for travel inspiration. ... show more

  • Great book
Format: Hardcover
I bought this as a gift for my dad‘s 79th birthday. He started browsing in the book right away. As you know from national geo: great pictures and great descriptions. It allows you to travel a bit without leaving your house. If you or Theo Krebses recipient love seeing different places around the world and reading about them in a non influencer way, this is great!! It’s a large, heavier size, too making it a great coffee table book. I plan to buy one for us when we have a coffee table again ha. ... show more

  • My recommendation
Format: Hardcover
The book made a pleasant impression. I liked that it starts with the basics — choosing a plant, light, watering — and gradually moves on to specific species. Thanks to this, everything has developed into one understandable system. I also find the section with a brief overview of care and tables valuable — it makes orientation much easier. The book turned out to be useful for me, I definitely recommend it. ... show more
