3.0 out of 5 stars Beware 3 Jan 2009
By A. Slater
Format:Paperback
I've not read this edition, so if there's any other reviews ignore this one, but until then take note:

The previous Lonely Planet for these three countries was shockingly, shockingly awful. These are difficult countries to travel in, so I'd recommend taking at least one backup guide book, especially for Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan with Georgia (Trailblazer) is fantastic, and it's few pages on Georgia at the end were better than the previous Lonely Planet's entire Georgia section.

Hopefully this book will be better. There's a different lead author which is a promising sign.

Just to give you an idea, the previous book's section on Georgia was so hysterically wrong it was a running joke among accommodation owners ("Ha! You read that in your Lonely Planet did you?" "Erm, yes, sorry..."). To give some examples, it got the dangerous lawless regions wrong (!!), described a dingy basement as an attractive garden, and called an old bathhouse something like a 'refreshingly social cultural experience' when in fact, it was nothing but a room where naked overweight women whose houses don't have showers stand while being literally hosed down with cold water - as functional a place as a laundromat but more grim, and understandably awkward when curious foreigners are around... I doubt that there'd been any actual baths there since before the USSR.

As for Azerbaijan, we gave up on the book on the first day, and later heard that other people's copies of the book had been confiscated on the border. It's history section was so crude and slanted it was actually considered insulting. The Armenia section was at least accurate (if vague), but wrote about nothing but churches and how to get to more churches.

Basically be careful and take a backup. Looking at the contents page and the cover (Kazbegi, one of Georgia's many real attractions, unlike the last book which had just some random and fairly trivial church), it looks like more effort went into this book, but I still wouldn't wholly rely on it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible way to get to know Georgia 7 July 2011
By Nana Barbakadze
Format:Paperback
My interest in this book was caused by the fact that it concerns my country Georgia and unfortunately, from existing popular editions, Lonely Planet is the only one that publishes something about Georgia which is pitty. I was rather disappointed with the content. If you need travel guide that will make you feel sorry for my country, you can buy this but don't think for a minute that you know much about Georgia or Georgian culture. This book is the most terrible exposition of very good country. I can't comment on content about Azerbaijan and Armenia because I haven't visited these places. If comming to Georgia, this is your worst choice. Terrible pictures, very poor information, some irrelevant info at all, etc.

3.0 out of 5 stars Info but not the most up to date! 13 July 2009
By B. Belmont Peters
Format:Paperback
Another region with little guide info. What do you do? I bought this one knowing it wasn't the best but, it's a guide of all three and I did need that. The info is ok. Some of the restaurants aren't in business anymore, especially in Georgia. Lonely Planet should also give advise for this area concerning proper dress and customs. They should prepare you for the treatment you might receive. This is a great failing. If you are not of this region and don't speak the language or Russian, you will have great difficulty in Georgia. Also, We found ourselves being STARED at in and extreme manner. They don't get many tourists. They don't really wear shorts or sandals even in the heat of summer....which was when I was there. The info was some info, it just could have been more and better info. I have traveled to 49 countries in 3 1/2 years and this was the first time that even though I research extensively, I felt unprepared and disapointed, even let down by my expectations. I feel that is due to what this guide leaves out.
