New Petit Fute Guide to Guinea & Guinea Bissau

I've just picked up my ordered copy which was published on 10th November. I've paid 16euros for it and am really dismayed; it's not the cost of it but the principal of publishing a travel guide.

The information is very basic, maps are appalling and there is NO mention of connections between the two countries they may as well be at opposite sides of Africa ... Guinea Bissau gets 22 pages of which 2+ are maps with very little on the interior of the country (2 pages) and about 8 pages relating to the islands.

As far as I can see the author has been there on an organised trip and visited a couple of towns, written up hotel descriptions and left again ... but made sure that every bar & nightclub in each town had a visit too ... not really what I want to know.

Very pleased to say that the information gathered from knowledgeable Thorn Tree posters that is posted below on this blog is far more interesting to my mind that the book!!!
