.Iraq: The Bradt Travel Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Karen Dabrowska

April 04, 2002
This book was published pre-war and at least one of the authors was a long-time advocate of lifting sanctions and ally of John Pilger. It's terrible on the Kurdish regions.

More up-to-date is Gilles Munier 'Iraq: an Illustrated History and Guide', although it lacks the details re hotels etc.

Either might be of use - and or interest - to someone visiting. But surely no-one would be mad enough to rely on either for decisions about where to travel and where to stay: for either you MUST have up-to-date information from people on the ground whom you trust.

.Croatia (The Bradt Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Piers Letcher

March 31, 2005
We have just returned from a week's holiday in the Kornati archipelago in the Croatian Adriatic, taking this book with us. We found it an excellent companion, helpful and illuminating on everything from Croatia's history to the abrasiveness of the limestone rock which makes up the islands. The maps are excellent and very clear. Above all the author's affection for the country shines through and is very infectious.

.Paris Lille Brussels: The Bradt Guide to Eurostar Destinations (Bradt Travel Guide Paris-Lille-Brussels)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Laurence Phillips

February 03, 2003
I ordered this book after using the smaller Bradt Guide to Lille on a recent trip to France. I understand the comment from the reader who complained that this is not a regular guide book with all the restaurants in the whole city kept in one chapter and all the hotels in another chapter. I reckon that for a daytripper or someone just passing through in a hurry this could be inconvenient. But I don't think that this book is for those people. It takes the city and turns it into a group of different neighbourhoods. Each district becomes a village destination in its own right, so it explores the sights and restaurants on your hotel's doorstep. I will test it out on my next trip. But the success of the smaller Lille book was showing me round a neighbourhood ... Read More:

.Chile and Argentina: Backpacking and Hiking (Bradt Trekking Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Tim Burford

February 03, 2003
An incredibly useful guide, providing both general information on Argentina and Chile - transport, customs, food, maps, flora and fauna - and a series of graded walks/expeditions that have been tried and tested by the author throughout the countries, ensuring that some or all of the book will be essential wherever you decide to visit.

Treks are graded by length, difficulty and expected time to complete, ordered by location and are accompanied by accurate maps and useful information on bothys/refuges etc, local wildlife and other points of interest that can be seen at specific times of the year. They are flexible and easily adapted to suit all standards.

I really enjoyed reading the guide and found it invaluable as it allows dipping in ... Read More:

.Bulgaria (Country Guides) (Country Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Annie Kay

December 15, 2007
The Bradt Guide to Bulgaria, written by Dr Annie Kay, is the most comprehensive guide yet to this beautiful, rapidly changing, country in the far South East corner of Europe. Annie is a historian, a tour guide, an ornithologist, a nature lover and now a part-time resident in Bulgaria. Her interests are reflected in the book; there are beautiful colour photographs of buildings, birds and butterflies, explanations of the historical issues facing Bulgaria (eg the Macedonian question), up-to-date maps, tourist and travel information and even a section on how to purchase property in Bulgaria (citing her own flat purchase as a case study). Annie manages to capture the flavour of the people through their culture such that you can imagine the tobacco drying, the traditional ... Read More:

.Budapest Mini Guide (Bradt Mini Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Adrian Phillips, Jo Scotchmer

September 30, 2004
"This book is sheer enchantment to read. Even if you never have the opportunity to visit the city, you will feel you know it intimately after reading this delightful little guide. The two authors write with a loving and intimate knowledge of the city. While never compromising on detail or erudition, they manage to make the text read as compulsively as a Penny Dreadful - and, unusually for a travel guide, there is a laugh on almost every page. I was hooked from the minute I read the modest and delightful introduction, and the fascinating bits of Hungarian trivia in the shaded boxes that are scattered liberally thoughout the text were compulsive reading - I have found myself quoting the information gained as if I had always known it. While mercifully concise, the history ... Read More:
