Summary: Great guide, fairly easy to find
Comment: There are few up-to-datea travel books for Ethiopia, but this is as good as any other country guide. The author, Philip Briggs, does a nice job of covering the major tourist attractions as well as focusing on the more quiet areas. If you are going to Ethiopia, this is a great guide to bring along!

Rating: 5
Summary: Must read travel guide for Ethiopia
Comment: Briggs's book is the best travel guide book on Ethiopia. His coverage of Ethiopia is fair and balanced. He seems to have excellent understanding of the Ethiopian culture and his book does a great job at explaining Ethiopia to the rest of the world. If you travel to Ethiopia, and I hope you do travel, this book will not disappoint you.

Summary: Best of a small bunch
Comment: This is the most recent and most useful of the small number of guidebooks for Ethiopia available in the U.S. Descriptions of places to see were clear and informative, and the sections on how to get around, where to stay, good places to eat, and other tips for each town were accurate and well-researched. This book also contains useful sketch maps of many towns; these are now FAR more accurate than those in older editions, and I found them easier to use than similar maps found in other guides. There is also a thoughtful section on general issues related to travel in Ethiopia. I found this far superior to the other commonly available guides I own for information on Addis Ababa, the so-called "historical circuit," and the lowland desert areas (information on this last region is pretty scarce, but this book has more than others). The book is focused on providing useful travel information and not on long descriptions or photographs; if an informative guidebook to use while travelling is what you're looking for, this one is your best bet. (Be sure to get the newest edition, though-- the previous ones weren't nearly as good!)
