Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover
Few countries possess such an intriguing blend of cultures as that found across the Philippines. Centuries of successive colonists and conquerors, missionaries and merchants have resulted in a people as varied as the 7,100 islands that make up their country. The Traveler's Philippines Companion guides you through this land of overwhelming diversity. Find and enjoy perfect secluded beaches; seek out gems of baroque colonial architecture; watch artisans create works using techniques unchanged for centuries; explore dazzling coral reef gardens, dense jungles, subterranean rivers, exotic flora and fauna, or simply allow yourself to be lured from one island to the next. (5 1/2 x 8 3/4, 272 pages, color photos, maps)

5.0 out of 5 stars a treasure in a travel book, April 5, 1999
By A Customer
I just finished reading the chapter entitled "The Country and Its People" in Traveler's Philippines Companion. I consider it to be one of the best, if not the very best, accounts and analyses of the history of a nation that I've ever read. My wife, who is Filipino, said it is easily superior in breadth and depth to what she learned in school. Impressively, it accomplishes this in a most succinct fashion. I never expected to find such a treasure in a travel book. I now feel much enlightened on the subject and therefore well primed to appreciate the country I'm about to visit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great travel book, February 25, 2001
By A Customer
The Philippines tourism bureau should distribute free copies of this book, because it really does a good job of showing off the country in all its glory. I recently spent a lot of time looking at various travel books to research a trip to Palawan/El Nido, and this was the only book that I felt covered the topic adequately. Besides the great text, the book is packed with beautiful pictures!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than what is taught in school @^:^@, March 21, 2003
By Filipina Cupid "Jean" (FilipinaCupid DOT com) - See all my reviews
Very high Quality book. The chapter entitled "The Country and Its People" is an excellent account and analyses of our Philippine history. Even better than what is taught in school here. You will be ready to appreciate my country during your visit. It contains many, many beautiful color pictures on high quality paper. I would read this book before I left & take the latest edition of the Lonely Planet Guide with me.
