A readable and informative guide

Reviewed on September 03, 2018
Paperback | Verified

This 696-page book - the 9th print edition of August 2018 - is an interesting and readable (the two are not always found together) guide to the South American country of Brazil.

Unlike many guides, this is not a glossy booklet dotted with colourful photographs to make it look superficially attractive, but a (literally) rough guide in terms of comparative paper finishes, but well-designed and presented, with readable text, useful maps, and (well-chosen) photographs only where space allows. The excellent design and layout means that you don’t need unnecessary spot illustrations to break up column after column of small-printed data.

The Contents are
P004: Introduction (Where to go, when to go, what to see, itineraries, etc.)
P026: Basics (travel, transport, accommodation, shopping, eating & drinking, and other “essential” stuff needed to plan a visit there)

The Guide:
P053: Rio de Janeiro
P137: Minas Gerais & Espirito Santo
P203: Bahia
P249: The Northeast
P327: The Amazon
P401: Brazillia & the Planalto Central
P437: Mato Grosso & Mato Grosso do Sul
P479: Sao Paulo
P537: The South

P632: Contexts (articles on history, arts, the Amazon, etc.)
P676: Language
P683: Glossary
P687: Index
