Format:Paperback
As ever, Lonely Planet have produced a quality guide to one of the less visited (at least by Western folk) parts of the world. Having visited Tibet a couple of times, I found this guide to be well researched and useful in providing ideas for places to visit and what to expect. The usual cultural tips are also excellent. Where LP seem to have the jump on other guide publishers is that they do cover less visited locations such as this - I normally prefer the layout & usability of Rough Guides, but the accuracy of information in Lonely Planet guides is excellent and this is a must buy if you are thinking of going to Tibet.

Format:Paperback
Tibet - Venture to a High Plain (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (2002) is a really good book to get you into the feel of Tibet. It is packed full of useful information, travel routes, trekking, permits, places to stay and eat etc. and had a very useful glossary term and Tibetan and Mandarin Chinese basic languages phrases at the back.
The book recommends places to visit, costing, time of the year to visits what to see, transport links, what to be aware off, question to ask, what not to ask, what to avoid and the endless rounds of permits and stop checkpoints from the Chinese PSB.
Good travel book, interspersed with history, facts, stories and much useful information with many maps.
