Gabon, Sao Tome and Principe, The Bradt Travel Guide
One of the best guide books I have read! I work in the travel industry and needed a reference book on Gabon. Being such a little known destination I was unsure what material I would find and was delighted to find that Bradt Guides had a book on Gabon. By the way Bradt always seem to have a book on little known destinations and have superbly researched books at that!
Sophie Warne excelled in this book. The background information is superb and she gives a detailed and balanced view of the country. I am now fully confident in my dealings with Gabon and have Sophie Warne to thank for that. A highly recommended read! It is an interesting bok even if one is not plannig a trip to Gabon.
