Buy the Bradt Guide: it's much better (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book's a reasonable guide, but is eclipsed by the brilliantly written and hugely informative Bradt Guide. We took both books to Ethiopia (09/2006) and found the Bradt one to be far superior.
Fine and Dandy (3/3 people found this helpful)
I used this guidebook for Eritrea. The walking tours in Asmara are a must and an excellent feature. The information is good the only drawback is that there aren't any maps for the smaller towns. That is where Bradt has the advantage. However Eritreans are charming so asking the way is a pleasure.
Excellent guide book (3/4 people found this helpful)
I spent a month in Ethiopia (March 2004) and found this book to be both accurate and informative. I would recommend it to everybody. Ethiopia is a most fascinating country and definitely worth a visit. This book provides all the information to take away the worries and hassles and makes you really enjoy your holiday.
Geat book - shame about the cover (6/7 people found this helpful)
I travelled in Ethiopia between 19/12/03 and 4/1/04 - just after this new edition came out. The cover is boring and so un-Ethiopia but the content was very accurate and uptodate.
Some good "legends" and local stories. Recommend that if going to Ethiopia you also get hold of a copy of Graham Hancock's "Lords of poverty" - easilt attainablein Addis Abba -even if you can't get it on Amazon !
