I purchased this book near the Assan in Kathmandu after I had just returned from a wonderful holiday to Tibet very recently and lugged all the way home to South Africa. This book is very special, lovingly put together by the author who obviously knows this country very well. The abundant colour photographs contained in the book are superb and very indicative of the real Tibet as can be seen by us Western Travellers. The text enhances the photographs and puts into words what the photos cannot tell. A wonderful coffee table book which will lead to many hours of discussion amongst friends.

This book must be the second best thing to visiting Tibet, the roof of the World, as a tourist. If you have had the privilege to have been exposed to "the lure of Tibet" it brings back many memories in a superb manner - both through photographs and words, if you have not been so lucky as to have been able to visit it - this book is certainly the second best thing.

Definitiely to be recommended!!
