Terrific
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The book was in perfect condition. These books (Insight Guides) are wonderful books. I would recommend them for anyone who likes to travel.
Really added perspective to my trip!

This book DID give me lots of insight into the culture and people of Israel. I read it on the plane before I arrived, and felt it made my trip much more insightful. The book tells you things that don't often come up in conversation that really shed light on Israel. Highly recommended - especially the first few chapters about history and people. Great photos, too. Yes, in one photo you see a lady's bum - this is the "innapropriate" photo the other reviewer was talking about. If you're looking for detailed restaurant reviews this might not be the book for you, but a great overall guide to Israel - this is it!
Narrative heavy, less detail than others
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Though I'm familiar with the subject, it's been a while since I visited Israel, so I decided a couple of tour books were in order. This one, though full of nice pictures and descriptions, has less detail than I was looking for. The sights covered are cherry-picked with no info on a lot of places. The places chosen for description have a lot of info. A good first guide, but don't expect the depth needed for a return trip.
