Review

The first-time visitor... could not do better than take... a copy of Ms. Peplow's guide. Beautifully produced with splendid photographs and simple maps, it gives the reader a clear resume of Filipino' history, culture, geography and economy, as well as the more usual pointers to the sights... -- The Journal of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs

These handsome, well-edited books from a Hong Kong-based publisher cover places few other guidebooks go.... The writers are particularly well-chosen....Odyssey fans tend to be adventurous travelers with a literary bent. If you're lucky enough to find an Odyssey Guide to where you're going, grab it. -- National Geographic Traveler, February 2000
