A splendid start to plan your holiday in Argentina!
The book is equally satisfying to the armchair traveller than to the one that will actually use it as a guide. I consider the guide as a first read if you plan to travel within Argentina. Beautiful photographs illustrate the book, and together with excellent maps it tempts the tastebuds! The highlights of each area are described and this makes it easy to plan your own trip accordingly. The authors never appear to come accross biased or judgemental. Handy hints and tips are provided as well, e.g. which wineries to try out in the Mendoza area of the Cuyo province.
A brief introduction is given explaining the history of Argentina. It is unlikely that you need more than what is given unless you're really into history. Short descriptions follow on available outdoor activities, nature in general and general customs and traditions of the Argentines.
The book then further discusses the different areas in the country, e.g. amongst others Buenos Aires and surrounds; Patagonia and the Northeast. At the end there is a reference section with some handy travel tips, hotel and restaurant recommendations. It contains handy addresses and telephone numbers. A handy Glossary completes the book.
The book is printed on glossy paper and it is sturdily bound to avoid it falling apart after many reads. It is not particularly aimed at the budget traveller. It merely describes the country in a way that you can plan and decide where you would like to go.

A true classic!
This book is a very informative and touching look at the life of perhaps the most influencial woman of the twentieth century.Like a phoenix from the ashes Eva Peron rose from her childhood of extreme poverty to become the world's leading first lady.This book is account of her life and includes all that you would need to know about Evita,it looks at both sides of the story and based on this makes very truthful and fair decisions on Eva's life, personally and politically.A true classic that Evita herself would be proud of.

One of the best guide to BA
I used the guide while I was in Argentina. It was compact, informative, and up to date. What else do you need?

Lonely Planet: Trekking in the Patagonian Andes
I really recommend this book as a must if you want to do any serious walking in Chile. The book lists all the essentials to bring and what to expect, even where to get camping gas. The walks are selected in order of difficulty and days, with photos of what you will see on the way and where camping and huts are located.

A practical combination of passion and simplicity.
This is an exceptional book written by a man who obviouly loves the dance, its history and the joy of its expression. Whether a tentative beginner or an experienced tanguero/a there's something in the book to enjoy. It is written with an combination of wisdom and humour and never patronises or overcomplicates.
A useful introduction from an experienced dancer whose love of the dance and infectious good humour encourages the reader with practical guidance.
