It is not a tourist guide. It is more a memoir. The writing flows very easily and enjoyable in the first part of the book, while the writer is in Turkey as a Peace Corp teacher.

Gosh, have things changed since I first went to Turkey clutching the 1988 2nd ed. That edition was written by the legendary Tom Brosnahan, and was one of the few comprehensive guidebooks to Turkey available at the time. The current edition does the usual good LP coverage - the typeface has got smaller, lighter and harder to read (and it's not just my ageing eyes - I am looking at them side by side!
