Summary: Essential for anyone interested in Nepal
Comment: This collection of essays and excerpts about Nepal and her people greatly exceeded my expecations. The editor displayed refreshingly high standards when it came to picking which authors to include. The writing is of high quality, and the vast range of works included gives you an thorough, unvarnished look at all aspects of life and travel in Nepal. Taken together the entries accomplish the difficult task of helping the visitor-to--be know what it will FEEL like to be there.
You just don't get this kind of stuff out of guidebooks.
The book has enhanced my trip preparations and brought my excitement about going to Nepal to a fever pitch. I highly recommend this to anyone about to make a similar journey.
I hope to find more books in this series available for all the other countries on my travel wish list.

Summary: Funny stories
Comment: This is the book to read when you are sitting around in Pokhara by the lake, or hanging out in your hotel room. Full of the quirky flavor of travel in Nepal. And yes, of course, I'm biased -- I wrote one of the stories in it -- but I don't make any money by getting you to buy it. Just like the book and want it to stay in print!

Summary: A charming cultural portrait of a fascinating land
Comment: Traveler's Tales is the postmodern guidebook. Instead of lists of iteneraries, temple admission prices and grainy photos, the authors of this book allow the reader to imagine Nepal in all of its tantalizing fullness. The excerpts selected range on topic and style, but all present unique aspects of the Nepali experience-- rural and urban, male and female, touristic and holistic. In opening the pages you can smell the spice markets, hear the chants of priests, feel the grinding poverty, inhale the crystalline Himalayan air and allow yourself to be carried down the narrow alleys of Pokhara. After reading Traveler's Tales: Nepal, I assue you you'll immediately run to Expedia to check fares to Kathmandu.
