5.0 out of 5 stars It's Back on the Map, July 17, 2000

By	Mary A. Dorman "MADstuff Store Owner" (Northern New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wish the picture accompanying the synopsis of this guide book were clearer. The strong geometrics in the photo on the cover give one a strong flavor of what to expect in this picturesque country. Get this book and read it thoroughly and you'll suprise yourself with a strong desire to visit south Africa.
