4.0 out of 5 stars Best guide book on the market, December 8, 2000

Cindy Luk (Hong Kong Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Footprint Jordan/Syria/Lebanon Handbook: The Travel Guide (Hardcover)

I travelled to Syria and Jordan this November, armed with my first Footprint guide book, and I'm now a convert. It is especially good in giving out well written historical background and cultural titbids that just make the trip so much more rewarding. Lonely Planet and Rough Guides are sooooo shallow by comparison.
