This book is great it covers loads of different countries right across the world - not just the norm! it is a great starting block for those of us looking to make the big step of moving abroad and gives an objective opinion too so you are not bombarded with advertising. I have used this book to choose the country I would like to move to and have made use of all the useful contacts listed at the back and the systems regarding property and visas etc. I have found this book really easy to use, informative and fun to read too... filled with exciting 'we did it' stories that make you want to get up and go immediatly! The Red Guides series also do country specific titles about buying property.
