Price: $29.70
Customer Review:
This was given to me by a good friend. I love to cook, and over the years have struggled with South East asian, Thai in particular, cooking. But this book lays it all out in such a way, and has such clear instructions that, in combination with an asian grocery store, it is foolproof. As a bonus, the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Lonely Planet
Price: $17.15
Customer Review:
This is probably the worst travel book I have purchased in the last 12 yrs of traveling. I covered 7 countries and virtually all of them were out-of-date. Not only that, the recommendations for accommodations and restaurants were awful. We ended up using hostels.com and just guessed when it came to... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Catfish and Mandala: A Two-Wheeled Voyage Through the Landscape and Memory of Vietnam
from Picador
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
This book embraces so many themes, so delicately, wrenchingly and compassionately. The center plot is a return to Vietnam by a young Vietnamese American which his family fled years ago to live in the United States. However, it is far beyond cross-cultural travelogue; it inhabits the American as well... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I am reviewing the L.P.2007 guide. Note: most of the other reviews are for older editions, ie. Pre-2007. I was in Vietnam January-February 2007 and used this guide.
The guide has maps that are superb and easy to use. Both the accommodations and restaurants I chose from the guide's... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Indonesia (Lonely Planet Travel Guides)
from Lonely Planet
Price: $19.79
Customer Review:
As someone who left Indonesia years ago, this guide is an interesting reminder. A little superficial maybe. It's a travel guide and not a political history book, so it omits a lot of bloody history about the previous Suharto dictatorship.
But the photos are nice and convey some of the tropical... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Lonely Planet
Price: $14.95
Customer Review:
I have lots of guidebooks - and lots of Lonely Planets, for that matter. But despite the fact that they say they are for "independent travellers", I keep finding ridiculous reviews on restaurants and hotels, to the point where I've stopped using them.
The History, Snapshot, and similar sections... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
