Lonely Planet Myanmar (Burma) (Lonely Planet Myanmar (Burma)) from Lonely Planet Publications Price: $13.59 Customer Review:  I'm currently on a round the world trip. So I've read a lot of guidebooks. And this is the most outdated and frequently simply wrong guidebook I've come accross (I visited Myanmar in January 2004). Of course I realize that e.g. prices go up, service might go down, owners change etc.. But this... |

Myanmar Style: Art, Architecture and Design of Burma from Tuttle Publishing Customer Review: I own at least a dozen books in which the second word of the Title is "Style", but this is certainly one of the best. Well organized, informative and full of beautiful photographs. Looking through this book you can learn about the Architecture and Design of Myanmar. The book is divided into sections... |

Lonely Planet World Food Thailand (Lonely Planet World Food Guides) from Lonely Planet Publications Price: $9.71 Customer Review: I bought this book thinking it was just a cookbook, and was surprised to find much more. Eating is an essential part of life in Thailand, and Joe Cummings gives deep insight into Thai culture -- specifically how "being Thai" comes out in the preparation and enjoyment of food. If you're buying the... |

Lonely Planet Laos (Lonely Planet Laos) from Lonely Planet Publications Price: $11.55 Customer Review:  Laos is an amazing place, almost without infrastructure, cars and factories. The Laotians are too poor even to have rich people. They sell roasted rats and crickets in the local markets. Joe Cummings does a great job desribing the history, culture and politics of the country, but ignore everything... |

Moon Handbooks Baja from Avalon Travel Publishing, Moon Handbooks Price: $13.57 Customer Review: This book is just great. It starts out with a good basic overview of the area. I used the book on a recent trip to La Paz. The maps are excellent and very easy to use. The prices are a bit off at times but still in the range. The hotels are broken down into price categories, that was very helpful.... |

Moon Handbooks: Mexico (2nd Ed.) from Moon Travel Handbooks Price: $21.95 Customer Review: This book was absolutely useless. I used this book in 1999/2000 and found the majority of the information contained in this book to be inaccurate or very outdated. I encountered numerous situations where services, i.e. trains, buses, hotels and museums had closed down or not existed for up to 10... |

Lonely Planet Lao Phrasebook (Lonely Planet Lao Phrasebook) from Lonely Planet Publications Price: $7.19 Customer Review:  The Lonely Planet phrasebooks are usually a great help travelling around the world. This one however turned out to be creating more problems than solving them. The transliteration is so weird that you actually have to learn two new languages before pronouncing anything closely right. I tried the... |

I found this book to be very complete. Even two building towns where you can just buy gas and eat are mentioned in this guide. It contains most of the "necessary" maps within its pages, but I would... |
