    Average for LP standards. All the usual trappings (country history, political climate, environment, food), boxed texts on interesting topics. The 2005 edition was badly outdated already in end-2006. Maps are generally reliable, but locations of especially restaurants and shops have a 50:50 chance of still being accurate.
