Best Guide to Armenia, July 18, 2006
Reviewer: Edward Casabian “Ed” (United States)

I volunteered in Armenia for two months and this book was an indispensable guide throughout my time in Yerevan and beyond. The photos are beautiful and the writing is excellent. I am looking forward to an updated version that includes sights from historical Armenia.

Best guide book on Armenia and Artsakh, May 29, 2006
Reviewer: John “Travel Guy” (USA)

Highly recommend this book, gives good and accurate information on Armenia and Artsakh. Used it to my trip to Armenia. Was very helpful and gives comprehensive coverage on the country. I think this is the best guide book ever made on Armenia.

Phenomenal!, October 27, 2004
Reviewer: Paul Carp (San Francisco, CA)

This book is tremendous. It has extremely detailed history sections which provide an excellent overview of Armenia and Karabagh. The photos are worthy of being framed. It also provides good cultural explanations for an area that needs much clarification. It is very easy to navigate and has a detailed Armenian language guide for those of us who are Armenian clueless. The Karabagh section is excellent and details the complicated conflict. It's a must buy for a trip to Armenia and Karabagh.

So I broke down and bought it! The Nagorno Karabakh section looks very good in this one. Such a wonderful little land, full of ancient Armenian monuments, incredible vistas and truly amazing people….

‘Intelligent’ Armenia Travel Guide Features
Exquisite’ Photos, ‘Meticulous’ Research

By Neil C Scott
Yerevan Times (Armenia)
September 24, 2004

Armenia has become increasingly visited over the last decade so that this Guide, which is beautifully illustrated by the authors’ own photographs, is particularly welcome.

It is authoritative and highly informative, and written by authors who have explored the country thoroughly with intelligent and observant eyes. Their coverage of environmental issues adds significantly to the value of the book.
