Bones of the Master : A Journey to Secret Mongolia from Bantam Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I supposed it's also good to have a Chinese reader confirming the reality of Tsung Tsai. Yes, he exists and has just come back from a trip to Inner Mongolia, trying to get the building project of the little temple going. It's not a done deal yet. I met Tsung Tsai for the first time in May, 1999,... |

Where the Pavement Ends: One Woman's Bicycle Trip Through Mongolia, China & Vietnam from Mountaineers Books Price: $16.47 Customer Review:  I enjoyed this book and oftentimes found the narrative absorbing. I was astonished by the contrasts particularly between Mongolia, with its frigid weather, expansive plains and childlike adults, and Vietnam, with its tropical beaches and aggressive, war-weary toddlers! Attention to detail really... |

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!)... |

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.

Mongolia: Empire of the Steppes (Odyssey Illustrated Guides) from Odyssey Publications, Ltd. Price: $16.29 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... |

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. |

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).

The Last Disco in Outer Mongolia from Sinclair Stevenson Customer Review: I enjoyed this book. Middleton writes about a part of the world about which I knew very little, and one which is not covered by people like Bill Bryson. I liked his style of writing and I did not find him condescending toward a country and people which has been passed by by Western-style... |
