We know that it’s rude to point. But when you wind up in a foreign land without the local tongue, pointing might save you from a world of trouble. Case in point, Dieter Graf Verlag’s Point It, a collection of universally recognised images that talk for you.
These pictures say a thousand words that many of us can’t so that next time you want to find the local youth hostel/train station/nudist beach just whip out the passport-sized picture bible from your knapsack, and make like ET (i.e. point) to the relevant picture. There’ll be no confusing daiquiris for dacks, and no muddling toilets and telephones.
Worth it for the kitsch photography and butcher diagrams alone, Point It is more vital to your travels than a tetanus booster and will save you from looking like a Kathmandu-clad, tongue-tied dweeb when you’re globetrotting.
