Format:Paperback
This book's a reasonable guide, but is eclipsed by the brilliantly written and hugely informative Bradt Guide. We took both books to Ethiopia (09/2006) and found the Bradt one to be far superior.

Format:Paperback
I'm usually a fan of Lonely Planet guides but this one seemed to have a lot of very basic factual errors - in the text and on the maps. If I was going again I'd take the current Bradt guide instead.

Format:Paperback
I travelled in Ethiopia between 19/12/03 and 4/1/04 - just after this new edition came out. The cover is boring and so un-Ethiopia but the content was very accurate and uptodate.
Some good "legends" and local stories. Recommend that if going to Ethiopia you also get hold of a copy of Graham Hancock's "Lords of poverty" - easilt attainablein Addis Abba -even if you can't get it on Amazon !

Best Ethiopia guide available
The latest Lonely Planet "Ethiopia & Eritrea" guide offers detailed, useful and up-to-date information. On top of that it is written in quite an entertaining style.
