Kyrgyzstan (Bradt Travel Guide) 1 review Laurence Mitchell
Bradt Travel Guides, 2008
Most Useful Kyrgyzstan Guide for Planning a Trip
We're planning a trip to Kyrgyzstan next July, and I've found this guide the single best book for trip planning. The Lonely Planet combines Kyrgyzstan with the other Stans into a "Central Asia" volume, and thus dilutes its coverage of Kyrgyzstan. The Cadogan guide is severely dated, all the way ...

Kazakhstan: Nomadic Routes from Caspian to Altai (Odyssey Illustrated Guides) 1 review Dagmar Schreiber
Odyssey, 2008
Best Yet!
I look at most books on Kazakhstan as I have many interests and contacts there. I picked this one up out of curiosity and was delighted to find it has far more detail and interest than the usual travel guide, with outstanding photography (including two- page spreads), essays on "Special topics" ...

Georgia, Armenia & Azerbaijan (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) 5 reviews Richard Plunkett, Tom Masters
Lonely Planet, 2004
Good book, but....
+ Very Useful ...
I used the guidebook in all 3 countries within one month of its publication, and found it to be accurate for the most part. However, the authors seemed to be under orders to write glowing reports on anything considered mildly worthwhile to visit. Many of these places were not particularly ...

Greenland & The Arctic (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) 3 reviews Etain O'Carroll, Mark Elliott
Lonely Planet, 2005
Perfect for those few travellers headed to Greenland
+ A take-along 'must' for any destination-bound traveler
Apart from Antarctica, this is the most obscure place covered by LP. Half of the book (about 165pp) is specifically about Greenland in the customary LP format, and the remainder is about other Arctic regions. (One tidbit: It is impossible to fly to Nuuk, the capitol, without changing planes in ...

Kazakhstan (Bradt)
What a pity the previous correspondent didn't return his FAULTY copy of Kazakhstan for a replacement. Because that is what it is - a mis-printed copy. This book is excellent, the sort of guide your fellow travelers would want to borrow every day. Highly recommended.
