5.0 out of 5 starsFrom Africa's Horn
By Britt Arnhild Lindland on March 15, 2002
Format: Paperback
I live in Norway, and Africa's Horn is far from my everyday life. I have travelled several times to Eritrea though, and have been searching for guide books from the country. When I went to Eritrea last fall it was with great pleasure I bought the LP book by Frances Linzee Gordon, Ethiopia, Eritrea & Djibouti.
The book is one of the best LP books I've read. The writing is clearly, and it gives us good insight in history, facts, geography, and so on. I have read parts of the book about all three countries, but the Eritrean part is the only one I have actuallu used when travelling.
The books has some very good pictures and maps, and give alot of up to date information. My favorite part is the part about Asmara's architecture, "Asmara, or Piccola Roma, soon came to epitomise the new philosophy: it was not just beautiful, but was well planned, well built and, above all, functiomal. The book is a good guide to use when you plan your travel ahead, and is even better when you actually are there and need or want information.
An extra benefit of the book is the small notes you find alot of, giving interesting information. Reading these notes makes your travel alot more special.
When I travel I use my guidebooks as kind of diaries. I write down restaurants I visit, hotel I stay at, interesting places I see and so on. And this book is filled with my writings almost on all pages. Gordon has seen it all, and gives very useful information about a very interesting, though little known country.

5.0 out of 5 starsLP guides are great, but this is even better !
By Maurizio Giuliano on April 28, 2001
Format: Paperback
It is hard to give this guidebook the rating it deserves, since I gave five stars to many other Lonely Planet guidebooks already. This one, among them all, is perhaps the best one I have used. It provides great information for the traveler, with plenty of tips, and I have not found one single error or flaw. Meanwhile, all the information and advice are filled with a great sense of humour, and marvelous writing style, which must come from the author herself. Deep knowledge on the region also transpires from the book, which provides extremely thrilling and interesting insights into the region's history and culture. All in all, the author did a great unparalleled job. Also in consideration of her captivating look in the photograph, I wish I could meet her and personally congratulate her. Frances, even though I don't know you, well done ! I wonder if we might have a Lonely Planet guide on Somalia come out soon, perhaps written by the same author.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest LP guide
By Delyan Manchev on January 6, 2001
Format: Paperback
I am a big fan of Lonely Planet. I travel a lot around the the world using ONLY LP guides. I just bought Ethiopia guide to plan my next trip - this is the best LP guide ever. Full with information and helpful advices, there is everything. And what was my surprise - the guide is written only by one writer, a woman and all the pics are taken by her. Congratulations Frances Linzee Gordon and LP for this masterpiece. This is not only a good guide, it's a good book!

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the only Djibouti guidebooks out there (in English) and luckily it's very well written.
By Kathy Khuu on October 25, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I just went to Djibouti for a 10 day visit and this is one of the only English speaking guidebooks available (used). Luckily, it's very well written and the descriptions are still spot on. Maybe it's because very little changes in Djibouti given its geological history, but the author's recommendations (restaurants and tourist attractions) are still accurate. I've used a lot of lonely planet guides and this is by far the most readable and full of interesting details. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 starshelpful, amusing, informative . . .
By Tom Sheahan on July 25, 2001
Format: Paperback
Frances Linzee Gordon's guide to Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti is not only clearly the best of the available guide books for these countries, but is also a real pleasure to read. I have used it twice this year while filming television documentaries in Ethiopia for National Geographic Television and it has made both trips easier, more interesting and more enjoyable than they would otherwise have been. The practical information is comprehensive and accessible and the historical and geographical information is elegantly written and more readable than is often the case in guide books. But what makes this guidebook stand out is the infectious passion and enthusiasm for the countries which it displays. The personal reflections and the incidental information (particularly in the boxed text) give the guidebook a texture which really helps to make the country come alive. I would higly reccomend it to anyone making a trip to Ethiopia.
