.Lonely Planet Russia & Belarus
City Travel Guides > Books > Russia
by: Mark Elliott, Robert Reid

March 15, 2006
So you have already seen the present (Moscow) and former (St. Petersburg) capital, and now you would like to see the "real Russia", or you have an airplane conference to attend in Kazan, or you have adopted a child from Murmansk, or you are meeting a prospective bride from Magadan (don't laugh--whenever I answer questions from people who are traveling to regions outside of Moscow/St. Petersburg, 80% are going for adoption or marriage!). There are almost no current guidebooks to regions such as Perm, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Volgograd, Crimea, Minsk, and the Far East. The 'Lonely Planet Russia and Ukraine' has the largest area coverage of any guide currently published in English.

It is also ideal for those taking a river cruise ... Read More:

.Eyewitness Travel Guides St Petersburg
City Travel Guides > Books > Russia
by: Dorling Kindersley

January 23, 2007
For background information I have travelled to Russia (in a cold October) and I own 20 Eyewitness books but I have never visited St. Petersburg. I confess that up front but all I need is the book to do the review, since I have used many DK books elsewhere. I love these books. I really like the Paris book, Rome, and the one for Prague, and Stockholm, and South Africa, and .... The new India book is exceptional and it works well for Moscow and St.Petersburg. You get all the detailed material similar to other great travel books plus you get great visuals.

On a cold day back here in the USA (or Canada) or elsewhere, have a glass of wine and sit in a nice chair or in the garden on a warm day and read this book. For a moment you will be back ... Read More:

I'll be heading over there in a few weeks, so I got this book. It has loads of tips, suggestions, and listings. It also has lots of maps, including the subway systems. I'm glad I got it.

As I said, the photos and descriptions and the cutaway drawings are excellent and more than make ... Read More:

.Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia
City Travel Guides > Books > Russia
by: Tom Bissell

September 23, 2003
The title is a bit of a misnomer. Bissell really spends most of his time not even anywhere close to the Aral Sea but exploring Uzbekistan. Thanks to that it's a far better book than a rant against the environmental mess that is now the Aral Sea. Plus throwing in enough history to make it come alive without boring us all to tears is a skill in Bissell's writing.

By the time he does get to the Aral Sea region, the story sort of loses its way a bit. Mainly, I think this is due to just before that parting ways with one of the best foils in any travel book ever--the Uzbek dude Rustam that Bissell hooks up with. Everyone who has ever traveled in the Third World knows these guys who say more truth with one word than any thesis could.
