5.0 out of 5 stars Great Guide to history, customs, what to see !, May 6, 2007

By	Patricia K. Goodrich "Patricia Goodrich" (Gainesville, FLorida United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love these insight guides; very interesting,& packed full of info and beautiful pictures. Gives the traveler a working knowledge of sites to see, customs, history, politics and the ideology of the people of a given region. It is not meant to be an extensive study of an area, but a useful travel guide, and for that purpose it earns 5 stars easily ! It is not a guide of where to stay or where to eat, but it gives useful information about each area covered so that a traveler knows what a locale has to offer and some background on each area. Great to pack in the suitcase or browse in the armchair !
