Vietnam

An innovative mix of travelogue and armchair travel, this book is presented as an ideal photo album of a trip to Vietnam - the kind of album that everyone wishes they had the time or skill to put together, without the hassle of sifting through crumpled leaflets or fuzzy snaps of monuments hidden behind the heads of strangers. Organized thematically rather than geographically, each chapter reflects one of the traveller's abiding impressions: the intense colours of the Vietnamese markets; the thronging city streets; the unique beauty of the country's ethereal landscape... The book is also peppered throughout with reproductions of such mementos as posters, ticket stubs, newspaper cuttings, labels and postcards.
Packed with evocative images and perceptive texts that capture the distinctive atmosphere of this beautiful country, this highly visual volume will be lapped up by anyone with a love o,ftravel and photography.
