''This is...'' is a series of children's travel books written and illustrated by Czech author Miroslav Sasek between 1959 and 1974.〔(Welcome to the wonderful world of Miroslav Sasek )〕 Sasek originally intended to write three books: ''This is Paris'', ''This is London'', and ''This is Rome''. Because of those titles' popularity, Sasek ultimately extended the series to 18 books. Four of the ''This is'' books were adapted into movie shorts by Weston Woods in the early 1960s: ''This is New York'', ''This is Venice'', ''This is Israel'', and ''This is Ireland''.〔(The ''This is'' films )〕 The ''This is'' series went out of print. In 2003, publisher Rizzoli began reissuing some of the titles, although not in the original publication order.〔(Sasek titles from Rizzoli New York )〕 Facts were updated but the artwork was preserved. ==Books in the series== *''This is Paris'' (1959) (republished 2004) *''This is London'' (1959) (republished 2004) *''This is Rome'' (1960) (republished 2007) *''This is New York'' (1960) (republished 2003) *''This is Edinburgh'' (1961) (republished 2006) *''This is Munich'' (1961) (republished 2012) *''This is Venice'' (1961) (republished 2005) *''This is San Francisco'' (1962) (republished 2003) *''This is Israel'' (1962) (republished 2008) *''This is Cape Canaveral'' (1963) (later republished as ''This is Cape Kennedy'') (republished 2009 as ''This is the Way to the Moon'') *''This is Ireland'' (1964) (republished 2005) *''This is Hong Kong'' (1965) (republished 2007) *''This is Greece'' (1966) (republished 2009) *''This is Texas'' (1967) (republished 2006) *''This is the United Nations'' (1968) *''This is Washington, D.C.''
