    系列二:DK——视觉革命

    The guides that show you what others only tell you
    (从别书闻其略者,于此书尽览其真)。

    ——对于英国Dorling Kindersley公司(简称DK)出版的《Eyewitness Travel Guides》而言,绝非一句浮夸之辞。

    英国编辑部动员150位专业人士采访、编撰、绘制、编辑的DK系列分区导览,以旅行资讯、实用指南为架构,提供专家的建议和日常实用资讯,使您能尽情遨游各个国家,是崇尚自由旅行及喜爱欧洲文明者的最佳导游书。
    遍游四国只要1790元......对於胸怀世界而热爱旅行的人而言,手持DK,如同有个识途老马的朋友伴游世界各地,使您的旅行充满安全感。书中地图提供文字无法穷尽的资讯,无论是徒步、驾车、搭乘大眾交通工具、自助或随团,旅人皆可自主选择组织书中的相关资讯,因此,DK Travel Guides推出短短数年内,销售突破六百万册。

    在当今“读图时代”,要做到所谓“尽览其真”必须仰赖高度视觉化的手段,这一点是DK指南胜过其他旅行手册的长处。城市“街区导览”(Street-by-Street)示意图是DK指南的精华部分。书中的街道导览图不是一般的平面地图,而是精描细绘的街区立体鸟瞰图,包括每一座建筑的三维样貌,重点建筑还有详细的剖面图,几乎可以当作《杜登图解百科全书》来读。
    如果你想以深度旅游方式环游世界,DK的分区街导览与旅行信息,将是你顺利成行的护身符。如果你尚未成行,就更不能错过DK,因为它的知识性与艺术性,能让你身历其境,在逼真视觉快感中,神游世界!

    优点:印刷精品,照片多。比较适合出差式的短期城市旅行。DK指南适用对象应该是中产阶级,介绍餐饮、旅店等实用知识时走的是高价位路线,普通游客并不适用。详细解剖城市建筑是DK的长项,而它的优点也基本上止于此处。

    缺点:该书精致虽精致,但分量太重,携带不便,还是更适于作为“卧游”读物。三维鸟瞰图、剖面图在建筑以外的领域鲜有用武之地,只能用干巴巴的照片和平面示意图作为导览,失尽优势。而且覆盖面窄(主要限于欧洲),文字资料少。迄今为止,DK指南的覆盖面,描述最详尽的国家是遍地古代建筑的意大利,原因就在这里。
