Eagle Dreams: Searching for Legends in Wild Mongolia from The Lyons Press Price: $15.61 Customer Review:  I don't hunt or fish or tramp around in the wilderness but, despite that, I was entranced by this book - couldn't put it down. To me, it's a story of how one person, in this case a brilliant and engaging writer, managed to achieve a dream he'd held since childhood. Bodio is such a fine (and funny!)... |

Lonely Planet Mongolia from Lonely Planet Publications Price: $12.23 Customer Review:  There are some major problems with this book. It takes a condescending tone towards Mongolian culture/food/attractions from the average expectations for such things if you weren't in Mongolia. Lonely Planet compares Mongolia to the, say, average European country. The average traveler to Mongolia is... |

Bones of the Master : A Journey to Secret Mongolia from Bantam Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I was never moved to write a review for Amazon before, but there are several aspects of this book and the way George Crane wrote it that I found extraordinary. Crane has achieved something that must be one of the most difficult in writing: getting across an authentic cross-cultural understanding of... |

Where the Pavement Ends: One Woman's Bicycle Trip Through Mongolia, China & Vietnam from Mountaineers Books Price: $16.47 Customer Review: The author did a wonderful job of describing the people, places, and different foods that she encountered on her trip into Mongolia, China, and Vietnan. After reading this book, I became slightly envious of the author having the guts to make such a trip. I wish I had it in me to pack up my things... |

Mongolia: Empire of the Steppes (Odyssey Illustrated Guides) from Odyssey Publications, Ltd. Price: $23.95 Customer Review: Like the Iran guide in this series, this book features good facts for people considering going to Mongolia, and enough pictures to make you seriously consider it. As with the Iran guide, it doesn't feature all the indepth fact and figures that would make it a helpful guide inside of the country, but... |

Lost in Mongolia : Rafting the World's Last Unchallenged River from Broadway Price: $10.36 Customer Review:  Angus' straightforward and readable tale of daring adventure and relentless stamina is a refreshing insight into one of the least documented regions of earth. Although not as well written as the version penned by his expedition team-mate Ben Kozel, "Five Months in a Leaky Boat", it is nonetheless... |

Around the Sacred Sea: Mongolia and Lake Baikal on Horseback from Canongate Books Customer Review: Good, but I had trouble keeping up with the names of the white guys. Seems like someone is always leaving and someone is always arriving, the pictures only confuses me more, because I would try in vain to match up the name with a picture. |

Men and Gods in Mongolia (Mystic Traveller Series) from Adventures Unlimited Press Price: $10.85 Customer Review: I stumbled across this book around a year ago and found it to be an excellent account of adventure in old Mongolia. It is always a pleasure to read accounts from Asia that do not have a Buddhist slant to it, but a neutral stance observing the customs of this area. I enjoyed his tales from the... |

Wild East: Travels in the New Mongolia from ECW Press Customer Review:  This was a disappointing book due to the poor quality of the writing and the lack of deep analysis. However, there is not much available on Mongolia. This does provide some history and glimpses of life in the remote country and is worth a read until better books are published. |

Edge of Blue Heaven: A Journey Through Mongolia from Parkwest Publications Customer Review: Mr. Allen took amazing photographs during his journey through Mongolia. I would recommend the book for its pictures alone. Mr. Allen's journal entries weren't quite as engaging as his photos, however. I found that he had a tendancy to repeat things. But aside from that, he gave excellent... |

Across Mongolian Plains: A Naturalists Account of China's Great Northwest from Fredonia Books (NL) Price: $24.95 Customer Review: I have a copy of the 1921 Blue Ribbon edition (probably an undated popular reprinting), and will not contribute to the debate on the quality of the paperback edition (see the two earlier reviews). I do think it is important to point out that the book belongs to the early twentieth century, and... |
