Organization of Eastern Caribbean States Oecs Business Law Handbook (Global Investment and Business Library)

Book Description

This is no ordinary travel guide. Packed into its pages are one-of-a-kind experiences, cultural insights, and details on touring the ruins of Angkor Wat, exploring Halong Bay, and cruising the Mekong River. This new edition also includes expanded information on flights, border crossings, and permits to Cambodia and Laos. "A thorough approach.... Buckley sounds like someone who has traveled every pockmarked road between Saigon and Muan Sing, Laos." --The New York Times

Customer Reviews:

Adequate only.......2007-04-26

Adequate rather than good, this is no Lonely Planet guide. The structure covering three countries means a significant amount of flipping back and forth to locate information on the country you're currently in. The Siem Reap/Angkor Wat section is particularly confusing, with the practical (hotel, restaurant & general living) information interleaved with the descriptions of the temple complex.

Although published in 2006, much of the political information did not appear to have been updated since approximately 2000.

This book will not encourage me to buy Moon for any of my future travels

The Best.......2002-12-21

This is the best guide available. Moon travel beats the major competitor (the main travel-trail eye-sore creator) in almost all respects, but not all.

Moreso than other travel guides, the Moon travel guide for Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia has tons and tons of recent political, social and economic history in addition to significant cultural notes that a visitor *must* be aware of. (i.e., what does a South East Asian smile mean?) The maps of the cities and provinces are excellent. the all-important overland border-crossings between 'Nam, Laos, and Cambo are cleary marked. This is one of the many reasons that Moon can't be beaten at the moment. This guide's overland itineraries are the best. Example: you want to go into China overland fron northern Vietnam. How can you get up to Kunnming, China? It tells ya. And, we learn, that the one way flight into Bangkok from Kunming is the same price as the one that flys from Hanoi. (This price equality of course must be verified).

The information regarding the pricing and existence of certain establishments that cater to travelers is outdated. However, where to eat or sleep has never been an important part of a book anyhow, just the general information about the area in general and how to get there is all a visitor needs. Does someone need to read a guidebook to decide specifically where to eat? Where to specifically sleep? If it does for you, do everyone a favor: stay home.

The underlying story that provides the "general-informational" foundation is enough. When we come through town, understandably we don't know much, but that is far better than knowing absolutely nothing at all, which is quite common now from my conversations with tourists, and especially now among "backpackers." The purpose of why backpacking started has been lost for most.

By the way, it is a fact that the communist government censors this guidebook. I found that out trying to pick it up at the post office. Well worth having.

Disappointing.......2001-05-02

This book is getting mixed reviews. It seems like friends of the author say its great. Those who tried to actually use the book are disappointed that everything is so out of date. This edition was not updated since the first edition and is now really out of date. Things change, but sloppy research is always out of style.

An Outstanding Guidebook.......2000-01-30

I've been using Michael Buckley's Vietnam Handbook for two months now and have found it to be excellent. It's well organized with country introductions which told me almost everything I wanted to know. Michael's sidebars are intriguing and I especially appreciate the city walking tours which have led me to many hidden little places I might have missed otherwise. The maps are better than those in the other guidebooks because sites are labeled right on the maps themselves rather than coded in a key which is impossible to read in dim lighting (a fault with the Lonely Planet series). Michael has provided not only the usual city and country maps, but also detailed inner city maps and even maps of the individual temples around Angkor Wat. This book covers three countries and sure beats having to buy and lug around individual guides to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. I've found that the coverage better than adequate and certainly head and shoulders above the general Southeast Asia guides which are surprisingly sketchy about these countries. Indochina is changing so fast that much of the practical information in any guide is bound to be out of date before the book reaches the shelves and this 1998 edition does require updating, but so do all the other guides to the region. You usually end up getting that kind of information from other travelers anyway. Of the three countries included, the coverage of Cambodia is the weakest, obviously because that country is only now opening to independent travel. Next edition Michael needs to get to places like Kampong Cham, etc. Meanwhile I recommend this handbook highly over all its competitors.

A good companion to other guides,esp. for sights and history.......1999-08-17

I used this guide for travel throughout Cambodia and in Saigon in the summer of 1999. I found it to be well-written and insightful, particularly about history, culture, and general observations about travel in the region. I found that I didn't rely on it so much for nitty-gritty details like accommodations or travel info (I used Let's Go: Southeast Asia for that) or for places to go out (I borrowed someone else's Lonely Planet for that). But I did come to rely on its clear modern history sections, its meticulous maps, and even its opening chapters on travel in the region. This guidebook is clearly thoughtfully and thoroughly researched. Although I wouldn't recommend traveling with it alone, I certainly was glad I brought it along.

Great little book.......2005-09-04

The size of this book is the best thing about it. You can get all the info in other books but they are big and heavy to carry around at lure shows or just out looking at garage sales. It has very good pictures and accurate info.

Excellant field guide on old fishing lures!.......2003-12-20

This is an interesting book for the dealer & collector alike. Chockablock full of pictures & pertinant information on lures, one of those esoteric fields that you REALLY need a book to master.
Carl Luckey is generous with sharing information on lures. I've learned plenty owning this book - I carry it in the car & I can't wait to find the "big one". Hope springs eternal!

Nice book.......2000-05-03

I found this glossy hardcover book really good. It visits 28 houses on this island and shows you glimpses of their interiors and sometimes parts of the island from their respective vantage points.I really liked the colours the owners used on the inside& out (mostly white).I would never have considered white for an overall outside colour (especially in Australia), but now I really like it! Some of the swimming pool views are excellent. Overall, a not expensive, colourful book. Before I bought the book, I had no idea where Ibizia was. I would have liked some history about the island, but apart from that, well worth the buy. No regrets.

Basics and more covered.......2007-01-10

Oh, I love this little book!
It does cover some very basic information but the advanced stuff its there too - and I've been using their pattern-drafting technique since I was given a copy of that chapter back in college.... 25 years ago!
Great stuff.

^_^ a must own!.......2003-11-16

Hey guys! Wow, if you're lookin for books on costuming and you've found this book, you've probably realized that there aren't that many books out there on the topic. I found this one at a library and I had to own it. Altho a little outdated (there's more technology now and even more techniques) It's a really good starting place since it lists many other books and sources in the back. The Authors also wote the Theater Technician's Handbook.....I like this one better since it has more information on actual construcion of costumes.

Change of Heart.......2000-04-12

I took this book out of the library because I do costuming, but I didn't think it would be that good- now I want my own copy. Even though it contains theatre oriented advice on making realistic looking armor without breaking your budget, aging fabric, padding out your actors properly, etc., it also contains basic helpful advice for anyone who sews about the fabrics you use, how to solve problems when things don't fit right, picking the right sized dart, and more. I definitely recommend it.

a must for all costume shops!.......2000-04-08

After being in a small costume shop for five years, i wish i had discovered this sooner! This book gives realistic solutions for common problems!

A jewish mother during NS-regime in germany.......2000-10-08

This book contains 57 letters written by a mother to her daughters. The mother is living in Berlin, the daughters join a boarding school in Switzerland. The letters were written in the time from the beginning of 1939 to the end of 1942. In the letters one can read about daily concerns of a normal mother and the typical concerns of teenagers. They do not always harmonize and have to go through to depth and highs of their first love. What makes these letters unique ? The mother, who is divorced, is jewish and lives in a slightly better situation compared with the other Jews because she was married with an "Aryan" German. But even for her, who was working as a teacher, life is getting more and more difficult and depressing. In her work for the jewish community she gets insights into the deportations. With these deportations more and more Jews are brought to the determination camps in the east - mainly to Auschwitz. Reading the letters one can imaging how the ring gets closer month by month - especially after beginning of world war II in 1941. Live is getting a hell on earth for the Jews. Fear of the censor makes Hertha Feiner choice a quite indirect form of expressions in the letters. Astonishing how Feiner bolsters herself and in a different sense her daughters too. It is difficult for her to make it transparent for her daughters how hard her life in Berlin is. In the beginning of 1943 Feiner was deported to Auschwitz... The letters were edited by Karl Heinz Jahnke... The introduction of Jahnke is quite useful especially for readers outsides Germany. Information about the family of Feiner and background information about the politics of the Nazis against the Jews are given in an exact and concise manner. The book was excellently translated by Margot Bettauer Dembo.
