We are planning to move to Shanghai for some years. This book has been excellent (I think. I gues I can really tell by the end of this year). Just what I had been looking for. It's not a travel guide, though it certainly points out places of interest. Information about living areas, things to do, service, expectations, transportation, shopping, etc. Most things I have been "googleing" through on the internet all in one book. Maybe some pictures would have been nice. But I guess that is not in the "nature" of this book.
Great read for anyone relocating to Shanghai

I highly reccomend this book to anyone relocating to Shanghai. The chapters on visas, housing & goods relocation offer well written advice that is easily worth the price of the book. It also provides a great overview on Shanghai's history, Shanghai's people and doing business in Shanghai. While other books cover all of these subjects in much more detail, I find this book offers a great overview for someone who has a billion other things to prepare before any relocation. The guided walking tours offered in the book were accurate and interesting. A great airplane read overall.
