4.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful description of a country called Finland, November 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Insight Guides Finland (Insight Guide Finland) (Paperback)
This book is a great combination of a tourist guide and cultural description of Finland, a country between the east and the west.
There are plenty of great color pictures included which makes this book lovely reading before and especially after your trip to Finland. Even though you would never travel to Finland this book will reveal much more than a weekend trip would do.
The best part of this book apart from the great pictures is that is does not only describe the popular sights to visit but it goes deep into the Finnish society and culture without being too heavy reading.
I warmly recommend this book to everyone who is interested in Finland.

Great book for getting guick background on Finland, May 23, 2000

This review is from: Insight Guides Finland (Insight Guide Finland) (Paperback)
The Insight Guide series is, in general, a really good introduction to any of the countries that they have chosen to focus on. This one on Finland, like all of them, is full of great photo's and good historical, economic, social, and political descriptions.
The tourist descriptions of what to see, places to stay and eat, etc. always seem to be pretty good and accurate.
