4.0 out of 5 stars Easily the most detailed guidebook to the country, 20 Jan 2005
By Laszlo Wagner (Hungary) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
While it may not be as up to date about practical info (like prices or schedules) as say Lonely Planet, I found this book unbeatable for its in depth coverage of the country!
It covers every single province (out of ca. 80) making sure that no remote corner of the country is overlooked.
The emphasis on regional clutures / ethnic groups was particularly interesting to me.
It is THE best book for those planning to spend a longer period in the Philippines going off the beaten track, though carrying a LP as a back-up for practical info is useful.
Certainly for those only going on a 2-3 weeks beach holiday the in depth info contained in this book may be irrelevant, and they might be better off with another book stronger on resorts and prices...
