.Korea (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: Rob Whyte

April 01, 2007
While covering the major sights that most tourists see, and having decent maps, far too much of this book is involved in endless listing of accomodation and restaurant options.Most sights are only covered in the most perfunctory way and very little attempt is made to convey the character of this exciting vibrant country. If you want a more detail and interesting read aimed at cheaper travel and seeing unusual sights then Moon Handbooks is a much better option.
Although usable this lacklustre book is typicall of the increasingly monotonous lonely planet brand.

.Misadventure in the Middle East: Travels as Tramp, Artist and Spy
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: Henry Hemming

March 01, 2007
A one-off piece of travel writing. Brilliantly told. I liked it like I like the finest russian beluga and the finest italian ice cream. Bursting with sentiment, capers, and wasta. It's a rough diamond.

I'm in it too, so I'm not neutral, but it is a little bit good.

.The Travels of Marco Polo (Wordsworth Classics of World Literature)
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: Marco Polo

August 01, 1997
Every fantastic location and creature and event described and experienced by the Polo family really existed. And yet the world still doubts the authenticity of this 13th century trader's experiences.
I have seen many of these locations and cultures for myself, some of which have hardly changed, and I continue to be amazed by the detail of his descriptions.

.Bhutan (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: Richard Whitecross

April 01, 2007
LP do it again. The guide rightly focuses on facts for the visitor, explaining the practicalities of travelling to the country and pointing out how one can design a customised tour. It provides an excellent introduction to the religion, culture and customs of Bhutan and covers the main highlights of the country in a sensible 'following the road' style - so you come across points of interest in the book in the same order as you come acoss them while in a hi-lux. There is an exhaustve and mouth-watering section on trekking, with a detailed advice concerning trekking health. It you are thinking about visiting this beautiful country, buying this book will convince you.

.Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya (Lonely Planet Walking Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Asia
by: Stan Armington

October 01, 2001
This is not a self sufficient guide, but if you combine it with the Nepal Lonely Planet and some good maps it is really helpful. Why go through all this trouble, you might ask, and not get something more comprehensive. First because most travellers (I make a bold assumption) are used to the Lonely Planet style and second because being of a smallish size it is the perfect guide to keep in your pocket while you walk and check as you go along what you covered against the trek dexcription found inside.
