5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Culture!, November 3, 2004
I'm Brazilian and I bought this book for my american family right before our first trip together. The culture info. is great. Just a little outdated on economy issues and also the pictures are old. But over all, is the best guide I ever found! I read it now for pleasure. Sandra Thurston

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good introductory book for "gringos", June 10, 1999
By A Customer
My Brazilian friend living in New York with an American family bought this book for her "host" father as a Father's Day gift. Out of all of the books on Brazil she could have chosen, she selected this one because of its nice graphics and wide-variety of information about her native country. She recommend it so highly, that I bought one for myself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Pictures!, July 3, 2009
By A Reader (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
Although not as informative and detailed as "A Rough Guide to Brazil," it does have some interesting pieces about certain Brazilian cities and culture.

This guide has beautiful pictures, but little in the way of actual travel information. I'm a very visual person and love to see where I might go. Read more

This is an attractive book with lots of photos, but I found the Frommer's Guide to be more detailed and functional as a tourist visiting Brazil. Read more
