Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Grigsby, who has cycled extensively in Korea and Japan, has written an expert's book on bicycling in China. Nine intricately designed tours guide the reader through Taiwan, Hong Kong, and up China's east coast to Beijing and the Great Wall. There are comprehensive discussions about planning, packing, safety, and survival. But what makes this book indispensable to the serious cyclist may not appeal to those looking for fabulous tales of the Far East. This is a how-to guide for those really interested in meeting the cycling challenge. Grigsby warns that his work is intended for use along with a "conventional guidebook" precisely because of this limitation in scope. A discretionary purchase for public libraries. [For another look at cycling in China, see the review of Diana Kingsbury's Biking in Beijing, LJ 10/1/94.-Ed.]-Chuck Malenfant, Louisiana State Univ., Baton Roug.
