1. The Argentina Insight Guide is a product of the Discovery Channel. I expected lots of photos, and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, there are so many photos the book is heavier than necessary for a "travel guide"; that is, a guide to take with you when you are traveling.
   
   I've never been to Argentina. This book was given to me so that I could track the progress of family members that were traveling there. For this purpose, the book was fantastic, and the great photos a plus. As I received emails about where folks were, I felt I had a "sense of place" even though I wasn't in the country. That was in addition to learning about Argentina history, the people, nature, and what to do and what to see. I was able to write back asking whether they saw certain places, events, or shops. This book added to MY enjoyment of THEIR trip!
   
   That's not a bad feeling to get from a guide book!
   
   And if you plan on taking it with you on your trip, it is crammed with information. There is a 3/8 inch margin around each page of this 6 x 9 x 1 inch book. The editors use every bit of space. You are not buying white paper here! As a "paperback", it has a stiff and hardy cover, and both front and back covers fold out to display a map of the country (front, with areas highlighted and featured inside) and Buenos Aires (back).
   
   Enjoy your actual or cyber trip!

1. This book while very much American in it's point of view is actually quite an informative background into the cultures of these SE Asian nations. The book takes you on a thinking tourists point of view while mixing interviews with personal points of view, you find yourself more informed as to what makes Americans different in their thinking to these other cultures as well as how we're very much driven by the same desires...though solving the quests for the objects of our desires quite differently. My wife and I visited these countries after reading this book and found the insights helpful in enjoying these cultures even more!



2. Full of terrible Asian stereotypes, and more about their sex tourism than Asia's economic growth. Not what I was expecting, and very offensive.
