others. the second kind are those books which give objective( 客观的) information of things to be done and seen. if a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. the third kind are those books which are called a guide to some place or other. if they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way. whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. you must also keep an open eye on its date of publication(出版) because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the
