Good book, but could be better

Overall, I greatly appreciated the helpful cultural hints, the maps of major cities, and the recommendations on where to eat. The one thing I think this book is lacking is a more comprehensive listing of possible hotels/hostels. The large portion of their recommended housing requires a reservation at least two months in advance, which limited my options and forced me to use internet sites to locate peer-reviewed housing.

So far so good but I have yet to use in the field

A lot of insight and tips on how to move around on a budget. I have yet to use it in the field though.

Information you won't find elsewhere

There's a lot of details on the important things you need to know when traveling. Examples include: what documents you will need in each country, transportation options and their costs, important phone #'s and some detailed maps of the larger cities. It's a good book for people who already know where they are going to but just want more information about it. There are no pictures, just black and white maps.
