Customer comments on this selection.
 Great Guide!
This book has it all. It gives history, culture and information as you travel through this country. It is easy to reference and interesting to read. A great value!
Extremely useful, and a great read.
This travel guide was a wonderful addition to our trip. We were able to use it to plan out trip in advance, as well as alter our plans along the way (which happened quite frequently!). It was also fun simply as pleasure reading during car rides and during "down time." His advice on language was concise and very useful, and his perspective on cultural difference was excellent and refreshingly candid, without any hint of paternalism. Most significantly, Ethiopians we encountered vouched for the author's depth of knowledge: more than once, our new friends pointed at the book and said, "He really got to know the places--the hotels and restaurants-- that he visited." This book was a wonderful addition to a spectacular trip: Visit Ethiopia, and take this book!
 very thorough
A lot of detail. Have not read too much yet. We will be traveling to Ehiopia in early 2008 to pick up our adopted son. Plan to read much more before the trip. Wish there were a few more photos.
Best guide book for any country, period
The Bradt guide to Ethiopia is hands down the best guide book I have ever used for any country, and I own a lot of guide books. Briggs has a really engaging way of writing and I read the guide book like I would a novel. There are a few times during our trip when I quibbled with his description of the quality of a hotel, but by the time the trip was over, I agreed with him (ie, hotel quality is very much a matter of relativity in Ethiopia). I am only half joking when I say that we are choosing our next African country to visit based on whether Briggs has written a guide book for it.
Ethiopia Travel Guide
Because I am planning a trip to Ethiopia this fall, I have been looking for travel and historical information on the country with little success. The Bradt Travel Guide, Edition 4, on Ethiopia was a welcome find. It is thorough, factual, and even has a few color pictures of important sites and fauna of the country. The chapter on culture and history and was just what I was looking for to give me background information before my visit. The three specific areas to which I will be traveling - Addis Ababa, Axum and Lalibela were thoroughly discussed.
