There were a few printing errors (I hope that's what they were). For me, though, the biggest flaw was the dearth of photos from African countries. You can't tell me there are only a handful of places in beyond Morocco and South Africa that have colorful spots. Southeast Asia was better represented in this book than the entire continent of Africa. Also, I was a bit annoyed that they included write-ups of some places without photos. On a positive note, it is interesting to see how many places around the world have painted neighborhoods or created street art districts as a way to attract tourists.
