5.0 out of 5 stars A Reliable Introduction to an Exotic Land, October 19, 2000
This review is from: Spectrum Guide to Ethiopia (The Spectrum Guides Series) (Paperback)
Guide books to Ethiopia are few and far between. However, the Spectrum Guide is all you will need to get an accurate glimpse into this far-away and often misunderstood land just now beginning to be touristed by the outside world.

There are section that cover almost every aspect of Ethiopian life: places, history, geography, food, art, religion, visitors' needs, wildlife, are just a few. The book is profusely illustrated with 200 gorgeous full-color photos abounding from practically every page.

If you are planning a trip to Ethiopia or just interested in learning about the culturally-3000 year old part of our world, once known as Abyssinia, then do pick up the Spectrum Guide to Ethiopia and get carried away to the exotic!

5.0 out of 5 stars the best, August 16, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Spectrum Guide to Ethiopia (The Spectrum Guides Series) (Paperback)
I think it goes without saying by this point, but this is by far the best book you could buy about travel in Ethiopia, I've read it about 3 times over now and I still really enjoy it. Theres not much out there about travel to Ethiopia, but even if there was, this book would stand head and shoulders above the rest

5.0 out of 5 stars very thorough!, November 8, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spectrum Guide to Ethiopia (The Spectrum Guides Series) (Paperback)
Unfortunately, I purchased 4 other books looking to research Ethiopia when clearly I only needed this one! It is complete with wonderful photos and all the little cultural cues that might be helpful when you arrive in Ethiopia. It is also formatted in a way that makes it an easy read as opposed to just technical drab description and maps like the other books I found on this subject. I highly recommend others looking to do some research before a trip or for a project purchase this book by itself first before grabbing others it should have all the info you need!
