Awesome map-information:
Great book, several key places missing but information very useful. Spent 2 weeks in Philippines and referenced it often. The map was great.
a bit disappointing:
I am an experienced SE Asia traveler and took a chance on this to find its 100 some odd pages to be nothing more than a picturesque but thin overview with minimal information on lodgings or transportation choices. Maps are the strong point for this package, but for serious info. on travel logistics stick with the updated Lonely Planet (still inadequate) or the hefty tome by Jens Peters. And always be prepared for price fluctuations above or beyond what is quoted in any book. Unfortunately, the Philippines is one place that has no one single comprehensive and utterly reliable travel guide. I gave this an extra star just for being succinct which can sometimes be helpful when choices are overwhelming. Happy travels.
Philippines Travel Pack:
Overall the book lacks depth and historical perspective, particularly in the areas off the beaten path such as Mindanao and the Sulu chain.
More Like these:
There needs to be more books like these out there. I have gotten other travel books before, and none had half the detail this one has in it. over all great book.
