4.0 out of 5 stars
Fine, but VERY out of date!
It's a good book, very handy if you're going to Central Asia in 1996. Four years later, however, it ain't worth squat.

Very informative but outdated and no longer accurate.,

This review is from: Lonely Planet Central Asia (Paperback)
The book was published in 1996. I travelled to Uzbekistan in 1997 and, already, many details have become obsolete. For e.g. I had NO problems with the police, there are MANY new bed and breakfasts and changing money on the "street" is more the norm. When I was there, the official rate was 80 Som to US $1.00. On the streets, it was 140 to the dollar. I did not change a single dollar officially.

A fine guide to the Central Asian republics.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Central Asia (Paperback)
Until recently, few westerners have ventured into the former Soviet republics of Central Asia; but there is a lot to see here: the Registan of Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Alamaty, the fading Aral sea, and remote (and possibly dangerous) Tajikistan. While some of the travel information is dated, this is the most comprehensive of the guidebooks to this area that is available. So, if you venture on the Golden Road to Samarkand, this is the one to take!
