.Oman (Bradt Travel Guide Oman)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Diana Darke, Sandra Shields

October 15, 2006
This book covers all aspects of Oman, i have not been but will do due to this book.

Very informative for the novice traveller, Sandra Shields seems to have the knowledge and captured the culture and sites to a tee. Seems to be very well well informed in local knowledge. I wonder if the author will show me the way personally. Well recommended.

.Nigeria (Country Guides) (Country Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Lizzie Williams

April 15, 2008
I have lived in Nigeria now for over seven years and I met Lizzie when she came to Lagos to write the book. Within the space of a few weeks, Lizzie has come to understand Nigeria and the Nigerian people in a way that many long term residents have not. Time and time again I found myself recognising places and situations exactly as I had experienced them. She writes with great empathy for her subject and tells it as it is, the good and the bad. I showed it to a couple of my Nigerian friends and they loved it, agreeing with almost all Lizzie had to say. This book is quite simply a must for anyone living in or visiting Nigeria, as well as being a cracking good read.

.Great Wall of China: Beijing and Northern China (Bradt Travel Guide Great Wall of China)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Thammy Evans

May 15, 2006
Excellent. This book was the ideal travel companion for my husband and I on our recent trip to see the Wall. Solid on explanations and directions - superb menu translations for the "Hot Pot" - kept us well fed even in the more remote areas. Si Ma monestary is a must see - and my only (small) critique is that the book might include a bit more on similar locations. Western China isn't easy even for the intrepid traveller, but bringing this guide certainly helped.

.Ukraine (Bradt Travel Guides) (The Bradt Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Andrew Evans

January 15, 2007
The author has a real passion for Ukraine and his rich descriptions will excite you about the country's history, people and sights.. The problem was that my brief visit, a few days in Odessa, didn't at all live up to expectations. The hotel that was glowingly described in the guide was very mediocre and lacked the facilities described - it was clear the author had been told a specification, and he hadn't bothered to check it out himself. So I defintely felt it was somewhat flawed in painting too a rosy picture. But on the other hand I'd still prefer this any day over the dry and practical travel formula you'll find in equivalent Rough and LP guides.

.Slovenia (Bradt Travel Guide Slovenia) (Country Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Robin McKelvie, Jenny McKelvie

May 15, 2008
This book is just out and we are heading off to Slovenia again soon so we snapped it up. I've been before but this guide really makes me want to go again - the pics are cool and the prices are all handily in the euro which Slovenia switched to last year. I like that as well as all the usual history and culture this book also gives you a real flavour for great bars, restaurants and hotels. We loved Slovenia last time and I'm worried we won't want to come back this time!

.Sudan (The Bradt Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Bradt Publications
by: Paul Clammer

February 28, 2005
Other than the Sudan chapter in Lonely Planet's Africa guide this is the only Sudan guidebook available. Lots of details on history, preparation, paperwork and the like, but it does miss out a lot of details (hotels, restaurants, car hire etc.) and gives pretty much no info on south Sudan.
Additionally a lot has changed since this book was researched (2004/2005) many more roads in the north are now paved, and prices have increased considerably (in hard currency terms). If you are heading to Sudan however it is still worth buying, but also look for information on the internet to fill in the gaps in this guide.
