Philip,
I’m leaving for Ethiopia in 1 month and reading your guide intently. I will post my reactions to Amazon after my return, but I have already found it to be very well written (compared to the lonely planet which is the only other book I’ve read so far.)
sincerely

How are you doing Philip?
I bought the first two publications of the Ethiopia travel guide, an excellent read. In some parts made me laugh hard, very witty! I have been traveling to Ethiopia once a year since 2004 love Ethiopia very much.
I would recommend these books to travelers on a budget like myself. Hotel information, daily budget guide very helpful and informative. Issues like the Jamaican Rastafarian community in Sheshemane, Hailie Salessie and related information.
Handled sensitively without being patronizing being British with Jamaican parents I appreciated it, though I’m not a Rasta myself.
