Review
This latest guide in the brilliant Bradt series gives a lively and offbeat insight into this country in western Africa.... Packed with information on accommodation, transport, where to eat and local etiquette, the book is also a useful field guide to the arcane traditions of magic and voodoo in Benin, with tips on how to avoid sorcerers and other supernatural entities which go bump in the night. --The Glasgow Herald
Another unique title (and of how many publishers can one say that?) comes in March: Benin. --The Bookseller
Customer Reviews
Unique and superb
Absolutely wonderful guide book. Shows a genuine love affair with Benin, rather than being merely a glorified telephone directory- a style to which which so many other guidebooks have succumbed. Highly recommended.
