Summary: Wonderful (and only) guide to Iran
Comment: I don't know what book some of these people were reading, as this book is in no way biased against Iran. It is quite the opposite. Covers main cities like Tehran and goes way off the beaten track to little villages near the Afghani border. Gives great info on Iranian culture and shows that Iran is really no where near as intimidating to westerners as many think.
Rating: 2
Summary: Too negative
Comment: A waste of time! The authors far too negative about everything and doesn't show Iran for what it really is. I travelled to practically every corner of Iran over the course of two and a half months: Alot of the things that were worth checking out hardly even got a mention in the guide!
I ended up binning the lonely planet guide and bought a better guide book in Tehran.

Summary: Racist Commentary But with Good Maps
Comment: Racist commentary presented in backhanded journo-speak that is unfortunately typical of english language books on Iran. Example of tactics employed - if you want to say something particularly offensive/outrageous/demeaning, deflect blame by attributing the comment to a "source" or a "reader". Hopefully actual readers with the gumption to travel to the Middle East are intelligent enough to sift through Yale's antipathetic commentary and put the book to its best use - a compact set of maps, place names and telephone numbers.
