^ The Rough Guide to Vietnam 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) Sale

Rough Guide better than Lonely Planet, Footprint
Just came back from a three week trip to Vietnam with three books: the Lonely Planet, the Rough Guide, and Footprint Handbook.

The Rough Guide is the best guidebook around for the country. It is superior to the Lonely Planet guide in the breadth and depth of coverage and especially its accuracy. I liked LP for other countries but here they did a very poor job.

I have not found even one instance where Lonely Planet provided information that Rough did not have. If you are traveling to the north, you may want to consider reading Footprint before you leave -- it has some interesting information.

Also, all hotels -- even the top ones -- can be negotiated down in price. Send them an e-mail and ask for special rates, corporate rates, etc. You can stay at the Metropole in Hanoi for less than half their rack rate.

>>> Where We Were in Vietnam: A Comprehensive Guide to the Firebases, Military Installations and Naval Vessels of the Vietnam War, 1945-1975 Review

Best On My Bookshelf
Mr. Kelly has produced one of the finest referrence books ever compiled about the Vietnam War. I am amazed at his depth of research. I sat with the book and challenged it by thinking of some of the most obscure places I was at in Vietnam that I believed would be overlooked by any reasearcher. He had not only located everyone of them by the nicknames given them by our troops but also gave their proper Vietnamese title!
I have worked with Vietnam Veterans for the past nineteen years primarily in securing benefits for them from the Depatment of Veterans' Affairs. This book is a godsend to anyone assiting vetrans in the VA claims process. It is a one stop reference in the art of obtaining information (locations, unit and personal military records) necessary to support a claim for benefits. It is far more valuable then Stanton's " Vietnam Order of Battle".
This is the book that every Vietnam Vietnam veteran or human service agency that provides service to Vietnam Veterans should...

* The Columbia Guide to the Vietnam War (Columbia Guides to American History and Cultures) Promo Offer

Complete Refernce Guide
I'd come across this book while trolling through dozens of websites related to the Vietnam War (most of which are good; some of which are terribly inaccurate). With the perspective of 25+ years since the end of the war, David Anderson is able to put together a very complete look at the war.

The chapters are clearly written and cover major issues: background; maps; American involvement in the war; diplomatic attempts to end the war; and even the impact on American culture.

The book has a very complete bibliography, as well as useful timelines and a "Vietnam A to Z." Simply having all of the statistics on the cost of the war accumulated in one place is priceless. That may make this book sound dry -- but it's not, as Anderson cuts through to key issues quickly and even provides vivid descriptions of major websites.

>> Warman's Vietnam War Collectibles: Identification and Price Guide (Warmans) Promo Offer

Must Have Reference For Vietnam Collector
This book, as with all the Warman's books, in an absolute necessity for the collector and just plain interesting for everyone else. I would recommend this book to any Vietnam era vet as well as anyone that buys and sells military memorabilia whether full time or as a hobby. I have several Warman's and will be adding to my collection as money allows. A "Must Have" book, plus it is just plain fun to look through. On nearly every page I saw something that I told my wife or son or grandson, "Hey, look at this, I had one of these". Solid Thumbs up on this one.

^ Insight Guide Vietnam Big SALE

Excellent for the first time traveler!!
This is a good basic book on travels to Viet Nam. Its very informative though several years outdated. As I travel to South East Asia frequently the information is pretty accurate and the maps are certainly helpful. I suggest you search the internet for hotels under US $40.00 dollars a day with breakfast included.

^ To Vietnam With Love. A Travel Guide for the Connoisseur. (To Asia with Love) Sale

The Stuff that Dreams Are Made Of
This book has been my morning coffee comrade ever since I received a copy a week or two ago, and now I'm ready to pack my bags and head off for Ho Chi Minh City. This is the very best kind of guidebook for the independent traveler--it trusts that you know how to get from an airport to a hotel and that you can pick up key civilities from a phrasebook. What it does and does quite well is provide you with personal and highly individual recommendations from expats, travelers, and Vietnamese people, who tell you what they love about this country. From their stories, you can draw up your own itinerary--their tips provide a springboard for your own adventures.

This is a book to dip into and to use for building dreams. Short essays provide information for every interest--Todd Berliner offers film buffs the Hanoi Cinematheque and Cafe, "which you cannot find unless you know where it is." Antoine Sirot tells where to find ballroom dancing to live music in the romantic destination of...

>> Vietnam - Culture Smart!: the essential guide to customs & culture Sale

Vietnam: A Quick Guide to Customs & Culture
As the title says, the book is a quick guide to Vietnamese customs and etiquette. It does not go into great depth but covers the subjects overall pretty well. I'd recommend it. Contents include how to avoid culture shock; Vietnamese attitudes and values; historical and political background; religion, customs, and traditions; the Vietnamese at home; leisure, social, and cultural life; dos, don'ts, and taboos; body language; hospitality, food, and drink; giving and receiving gifts; business briefing; and language and communications. That's a lot to cover in 168 pages in a pocket sized book. I'd also recommend "Vietnam Today" by Mark A. Ashwill for a little more depth.

^ Vietnam Today: A Guide to a Nation at a Crossroads Price

The best book on Vietnamese culture by a foreigner..
As a Vietnamese-American living in the US for 26 years, I consider this book one of the best ever written about Vietnam nowadays undergoing great changes. Very insightful,honest, fair,well balanced, non bias and not influenced by,for the better or worse, the American experience in Vietnam. Only a few corrections are recommended for next editions. First the Chams ( not Chans), are a malay group of minorities.The group living in Central Vietnam are mainly hinduist while the other group living in the Delta ( province of An Giang ) are mainly muslim.They never consider themselves as Vietnamese but Chams whose civilization was destroyed by the Vietnamese. The name of the late President of South Vietnam missed the middle name. He is Ngo "dinh" Diem, still highly revered by the majority of Vietnamese overseas. I appreciate very much the fact that the author use the abbreviation HCM City for Saigon instead of the full name which is anathema for many Vietnamese. Very clever and sensitive. The...

>>> The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Vietnam War (The Politically Incorrect Guides) Promo Offer

Learned a lot but also a page turner...
I'm a 28 year old college graduate and would consider myself fairly intelligent. But, I really didn't know a thing about the Vietnam War - well, certainly nothing accurate - until I read this book.

I grew up in California, public and private schools. My understanding of the Vietnam War was ridiculously off base when it came to the facts and the chronology of events...

This book was an eye opener and should be required reading for anyone interesting in American history... Google "history of Vietnam War" and read some of the stuff people have published - "a million American deaths..."? Clearly, this media controlled war has been permanently filtered in our memory. Read this book to get the real story and you'll also have a few good laughs along the way.

I highly recommend this book to everyone.

>> Vietnam (Insight Guides) Promo Offer

Best of the guide books
I purchased two others in advance of my trip - they seemed to provide reasonable coverage and they were available in the book store. However, there is nothing like road testing. My travel companions had this guide along. It was excellent compared to the others and we ended up using it most of the time (although if everyone takes a different book, that's fun too to read the different perspectives). I ordered it upon my return home because when I go back, this will be all I need! It had a little more in depth on some destinations we found interesting, and mentioned more destinations to choose from, even if they were not covered in detail, in case they peek your interest. Enjoyable reading.

^ The Rough Guide to Vietnam Deals

A well-researched, reliable and valuable guide
I was in Vietnam (Jan/Feb 2008) and I took with me Lonely Planet and Rough Guide, and the better of the two guides is, by a thin margin, Lonely Planet.

However, there is much to commend Rough Guide Vietnam. It is worth buying just for the section that covers the history, religion (13 pages) and the overall culture of Vietnam. Excellent.

This guide is well laid out; breaking Vietnam into eight sections. Each section has a page that points out the places not to be missed. Each of these sections opens with a very good history and explanation of the area. Rough Guide has an excellent selection of restaurant and eateries (better than Lonely Planet's) with enticing write-ups that tell you what to try, "Goi bo, a salad of banana flower, star fruit and pineapple" or "try stir-fried beef with lemongrass for starters, followed by fried scallops and then che baba - grandma's sweet coconut soup." This guide has a better selection of the discos and clubs than Lonely Planet...

* DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Vietnam and Angkor Wat Deals

Great Reference for Seeing Sights
I love Eyewitness Guides in general, they are really useful in terms of mapping out sights and itineraries in certain neighborhoods, and this guide to Vietnam is no different. The pictures paired with the maps are great, because you can actually see what you are looking to find. I found it especially useful in the cities: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. My one complaint is that it doesn't do a good enough job on restaurants, shops, bars, etc - I found myself relying on a different guide for the "extras". But overall a worthwhile purchase for a trip to Vietnam.

^ Lonely Planet Vietnam (Country Travel Guide) Reviews

Very good guide!
I believe the fellow from the other post missed the fact that Lonely Planet's Travel Guides are not written by a sole author, but rather by a team of several people.

This information easily undoes the math according to which it is not possible to go (or gather information) on all the places indicated in the Guide.

That being said, the Vietnam, together with the Myanmar, Cambodia and Korea Guides, was my first experience in travelling with Lonely Planet and, in the end, I was quite satisfed with it.

LP's guides contain a lot of interesting historical information and have very nice hotel and restaurant hints.

Bear in mind, however, that the publisher is much more interested in lower income countries and less expensive options.

Therefore, while the Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam guides were amazing, the Korea one was very disappointing. Furthermore, LP guides lack information on most luxurious tourism options.

If that is...
