General Atmosphere The atmosphere of the book is quite immersive and remains consistent throughout the entire text. The author manages to create a believable world that follows its own internal rules. It is easy to picture the scenes described in the chapters.

I was a bit disappointed but maybe i expected too much.

Fabulous, to the point travel book series that are small enough to go in a purse or backpack. The Knopf Mapguides series, though, are even more portable...but this one has more information.
