1: The Bradt travel guide for Mongolia
While providing good information for things that have not changed, the book is out of date. For those seeking to visit Mongolia in the near future, you will need additional up to date sources. Having said that there is a lot on information in this well organized guide such as history, geography, places to visit, to name only a few.

2: Not meant for backpackers
When I decided on buying this book over the standard travel books, like the Lonely Planet series, I was looking for something different and perhaps more personal it its descriptions. This book is certainly informative and includes personal descriptions (often at the sacrifice of more usable information), but it really didn't do a good job of representing what I saw in Mongolia. The price estimates were extremely over-inflated (a welcome surprise), and the maps didn't help at all. I suspect this book is meant for a different type of traveler, and not the young backpacker set which I was among in Mongolia. Its still a good read, but should not be the lone source of travel info. about this magnificent country.
