Customer Reviews

COMPREHENSIVE
Off to Sri lanka in a few months time. This book provides a tremendous insight into the country and what I am likely to expect. Good value, prompt delivery.

In depth Sri Lanka
This book has good detailed information on Sri Lanka with fact on many of the smaller towns as well as the larger tourist areas. We felt that the book could be made easier to navigate and include more pictures and maps, hence the 4 stars.
