5.0 out of 5 stars A great book but not a travel guide, January 5, 2005
This book has a great introductory value. It shows how diverse and beautiful this country is. The photographs are of outstanding quality. The truth is, some of the places I visited looked much worse than their photographs in this book (like Vigan, for example).

One must understand though that this book is NOT a travel guide though (despite some tourist info it contains). It is more like set of National Geographic articles with great illustrations. I still give it 5, because it is so fascinating and beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book to learn about Philippines without going @^:^@, March 21, 2003
By 
Filipina Cupid "Jean" (Cebu, Hong Kong, Manila, UK) - See all my reviews
More than a travel guide, it spends more time on background and the meaning of sites in the Philippines. Many beautiful photos. Good book to learn about Philippines without going. My American friends that have read this book say it was BiG help to them in understanding not just travel only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, January 25, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Insight Guides Philippines (Serial) (Paperback)
This is one of the books you should get when you're going to the Philippines. It is a very long book filled with good detailed facts. The photographers who took the pictures got very good shots of the Philippines. Another good thing about this book is that is has very good information when your touring the Philippines in the back of the book. It tells you information about the weather, lodging, holidays and festivals, what should be worn, and even how to speak basic Tagalog (the official language of the Philippines). There's a lot of things I haven't mentioned. If you want a good quality guidebook on the Philippines, then you should try this book!
