The format is less of a travelogue and more like a punchy series of insightful, engaging, almost standalone, interviews for a broadsheet. I say that so as not to give the impression it's a travel guide or a volume that's intended to give insights on geography, topography and nature of the region. You would need to get that from another source.
I wasn't crazy about the slogan-y captions under the pictures in the Kindle version I read. The text sufficed and didn't lay on 'that tone' anywhere near so thickly.
