The book contains 150 pleasantly casual introductions to noteworthy places in Estonia. They deal with landscapes and people, with history and legends.

Every informative text is accompanied by a picture, or even several, just as the artists have seen the location under discussion.

As well as provides a glimpse into Estonian art collections and the nations cultural history. In the process of compiling this book, Andres and Aavo had the opportunity of looking at thousands of works of art in museums and private collections.
