Lonely Planet Publications, 1998

Excellent introduction
As others note, the continent is too large to contain in one book for travel purposes.

From a returned Peace Corps Volunteer
This book is practically the bible for W. Africa travel. I lived and worked in W. Africa for 3 years (2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer) and I never went anywhere without consulting LP. The information is as accurate as anything out there. It offers you suggested itineraries and "off the beaten path" suggestions as well as the traditionally touristy destinations. Many parts are less ...
