from Rough Guides Limited
Price: $16.29

Customer Review:
I am constantly looking for good travel guides to Japan. I've used three of them. I choose to use the Rough Guide now. It is the most accurate and the most interesting, and also the most recent.

I am surprised that the maps have been criticised. In some cases (Nikko, for example) they are much... more info

from Lonely Planet Publications
Price: $10.87

Customer Review:
We've used the book in july/august 2002 for a trip from Beijing to Helsinki. Much information in the book, but a lot of it is copy-past'ed from the country guides.
Another reviewer remarked on the rapidly changing circumstances in the countries... no guide can outrun those.
We visited Beijing,... more info

8. Lonely Planet Central Asia (2nd Edition) Lonely Planet Central Asia (2nd Edition)
from Lonely Planet Publications

Customer Review:
I found that the East Turkistan (Xinjiang) section of this book was much more helpful when I actually traveled there than the Cadogan "China: the Silk Routes" guide, which is much bigger and much lesse useful. For Uzbekistan, though, this book is useless compared to the Odyssey guide.
If you... more info

from Lonely Planet Publications

Customer Review:
I used the 3rd edition of this guide on my first trip to South Africa in 1999. Back then, this guide would recommend places to stay in the most dangerous streets of Jo'burg, and guarantee the readers that the area was even safe to walk around at night. A taxi driver in Jo'burg told us he was... more info

from Rough Guides Limited

Customer Review:
I bought this thinking that it is a more in-depth guide of Tokyo. But it is simply a cut down version of the Tokyo section of Rough guide to Japan. I immediately returned it because I'd already bought the latter. For the price, I would at least expect something more original.
The only advantage... more info

from Rough Guides

Customer Review:
Supposedly an edition updated April 2001, yet the ebook contains phrases like "as the Millenium approaches" and describes buildings "scheduled to open in 1999." Not promising. Quite disappointing for an ebook, too, since ostensibly they should be easier for a publisher to update.
