The 10 Best of Everything

First off. Can I tell you how much I just love the library? There's not more than two weeks that go by where I'm either on the NYPL website or inside one of their branches. If I didn't have access to such an excellent library system, I would have to seek out a storage garage for all the books I would then have to acquire that peak my varied interests. Another plus about the library is that you don't have to make too much of a commitment to books. You can simply take out what looks good and not worry if it turns out to be crap. It's completely guiltless and your money stays in the bank.

Whilst perusing the shelves of said library, I came across a neat book called, The 10 Best of Everything: An Ultimate Guide for Travelers. I wouldn't go so far to declare this a travel book. It's more like a best of everything, if you happen to be traveling. Otherwise, the armchair travelers can certainly get enjoyment out of it as well. A lot of the foods and products are available online, so no worries about feeling left out. Besides, some things really have nothing to do whatsoever with travel.

The chapter entitled "The Ten Best Products", gives shout-outs to brand names that almost anyone with some dosh (or not) can acquire. There's no reason to fly to Switzerland to purchase a TAG Heuer watch. As for landmarks, I'm just going to assume that everyone reading this lives within driving distance of at least one landmark or important site.

I mean, come on! They have Starbucks on the best coffee list. Starbucks! I think you get what I mean.

It's just a nice glossy and fun book full of eye candy.
