It may not be Lonely Planet, but it is almost as great........2001-07-28
Libya is a wonderful country yet to be discoveted, which only opened up to foreign tourism in year 2000 amidst a deep economic crisis caused by internal factors as well as a foreign embargo. Finally, Libya is accessible for foreign travelers - and, not less importantly, reasonably safe. Yet, given the relative lack of infrastructure, and as the volume of tourism is still low, travelers are unlikely to really experience Libya unless they are in a group, which may not always be pleasant. In order to truly get to know this wonderful nation, the independent traveler needs some help. And indeed, in this wonderful guidebook is contained plenty of useful, if not invaluable, advice, on what to see in Libya, how to move around, and how to have a great time altogether. The author has clearly put an incredible amount of time and great effort into researching all and any information that can be useful to the traveler, and has done a great job overall. To my knowledge, this is the best travel guide to Libya, and I would strongly recommend to pack it in your luggage before setting off. Yet, one aspect on which this guidebook is rather weak (compared for example to Lonely Planet guides), is on Libyan people and society. This means that the guidebook is a little better suited for those wishing to visit historical sites etc, rather than those wishing to get into Lybian politics, society, culture, and Lybian life in general. Yet, it is still a useful tool in that respect too.

Book Description
Arguably the Arab world's most forward-looking state, Tunisia is the subject of a high-spending publicity campaign as its Tourist Board seeks to attract more foreign visitors to this lesser-known Mediterranean destination. Thoroughly revised and updated, Footprint Tunisia Handbook is packed with essential tips for enjoying a trip to the "sun, sea, and sand" capital of North Africa, along with stunning full-color photographs showing the country's key features. A new-and-improved table of contents and a new front map highlighting the best sights combine with over 80 full-color maps cross-referenced with the text to help travelers decide where to stay, eat, and take in the local culture. From the remote beaches of the northern coast to the dunes and oases of the deep south, the book suggests itineraries for finding hidden spots most tourists don't know about. It gives the complete lowdown on desert adventure excursions, from climatic conditions to transportation options. It also explores attractions beyond the beaches and dunes, from vibrant souks to spectacular Roman ruins.

Footprint Tunisia Handbook-Fantastic Book.......2002-11-18
You can't imagine how much detail and information there is in this book. It must have taken this gentleman several lifetimes to actually visit all of the places about which he so accurately describes. This is far better than the Lonely Planet book on Tunisia in my opinion, especially for people who hope to travel to this progressive nation that is very "American friendly" and quite a bargain in most ways.
Footprint Tunisia.......2000-06-20
Footprint Tunisia is without question the best travel book I've ever used. It's information was accurate to the letter in every case. Background history of the country and it's ancient colonizers was exhaustive compared to the standards of most guide books. Perhaps most impressive is the pertinence of the information to every type of traveller, budget to luxe. The clever and pointed opinions were always on target. The writer did not hesitate to give sly negative reviews where applicable. "Lonely Planet" and "Let's Go" both offer good information but have target readers and leave out the needs of many of us as well as frequently providing only rudimentary information. With Footprint you can throw out all the other guidebooks or just avoid buying them entirely, that's how exhaustive I found the Tunisia entries to be. I've used many guide books, Eyewitness, Access (awesome in the original versions, especially for walking tours and architectural sites,food and shops)and Fodor's but these all pale in comparison to Footprint. Where have they been hiding? I've yet to see them on the shelves of those big bookstores in my neighborhood. Bravo to Amazon for carrying them all.
