Landes' new book takes a different approach.  Rather than offering readers just gorgeous photographs, she provides a personal narrative of what it would be like for someone viewing the particular scene.  --Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times Best Selling Author  (click here to read Ms. Marsh's full review!)

I feel like I'm there!  Vicki's photography coupled with her descriptive writing instantly transports the reader to the most intriguing parts of Europe.  --Faye Hess, Italian cuisine and culture expert, author of fabulous cookbook "FAYEFOOD".

"Europe For The Senses: A Photographic Journal" by author, traveler, and photographer Vicki Landes is a breathtaking collection of full-color photographs from around Europe.  Images range from wildflowers to the Leaning Tower of Pisa juxtaposed against an aerial view of flying to Pisa, to Luxembourg's American Military Cemetery, and much more.  Most photographs have a brief commentary in the form of text, printed in a handwriting-style font and reminiscing fond memories as well as recounting historical facts about the images that portray classic locations.  A joy to page through, and the perfect giftbook for Europhiles.  --John Burroughs, Reviewer for the Midwest Book Review

"World traveler, Vicki Landes, portrays Europe in the most delightful way one can imagine.  She captures, through her precise eye, sights of delights, wonderment, and beauty in her enchanting coffee table book."  --Irene Watson, Managing Editor and Reviewer for Reader Views (click here for Irene's entire review!)

"Europe for the Senses" is a gourmet delight punctuated with the spice of a well-prepared meal.  The book elevates your senses and tickles your palate with its rich flavor of color and text.  It invites one into each picture to see, hear, smell, listen, and touch the reachable and unreachable.  It takes you to another world with its vivid scenes.  It makes you believe you are not just viewing each photo, but transported into its midst.  A job well done.                                       --Inge Auerbacher, prize winning author of "I Am A Star", "Beyond the Yellow Star to America", "Running Against the Wind", and "Finding Dr. Schatz".  Visit Inge's website at www.IngeAuerbacher.com

I live in Germany, myself, and this book was made by one of our (school) student's parent. No bias here, really, when I say this is the best book I've ever seen like this. Europe has a lot of beautiful books published about various sites and cities. This one tops them all! Just absolutely beautiful!  -- Sherry Hancock

Vicki Landes captured the essence of the European architecture and landscapes through the artistic lense of her camera. Her photographs take one back to Europe to make one feel like they're almost walking through the streets of Europe. She was able to capture the correct angles, lighting, and color. Her book is the best representation of Europe on the market today.  --Dr. Henry M. McGibbon

Loved it! Beautiful photography and charming narrative will make those who have been to Europe yearn to go back, and those who have never visited will want to make travel plans.  --Rebecca Augsburger

I love this book.  The pictures are absolutely beautiful.  The writing makes you feel like you're there.  --Dawn Bradley

The photos in this book are extraordinary, especially the ones from Iceland. Beautiful book, highly recommended.  --Kristin

My neighbor brought this book over last night and I could hardly put it down!  Not only were the pictures fantastic, but Vicki made you feel as though you were on the tour with her.  I've just placed my order for the book.  It's a great one to have whether you plan to go to Europe or not!  --Linda
