.Frommer's China, 1st Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: Frommers, Peter Neville-Hadley, J. D. Brown

2003-12
My copy of this title has the Chinese in large, useful characters right next to the maps. Only if there's no map for a small town is the Chinese listed in the back, with the information for each town handily grouped together in alphabetical order.

.River Of Colour
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: Raghubir Singh

September 20, 2000
I've recently been to this wonderful country called India and this book brought all the memories back again: the bright colours, the light, the buzzing and chaos of the cities, the amazing eyes of the Indian people, even the smells of the country... I was deeply moved by Singh's photographs and his talent to capture these unforgettable moments.

Now I only have one desire: to go back to India!!!
