    Great buy! Once you own it - you can download the w-book so nothing but your phone needed when you travel - no heavy guide book in the bag.

    I am about to leave for 3 weeks in the Stans. While I have an excellent guide, this book offered insight into history and conditions. I suspect that I will appreciate the book even more after I return.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very well organised guide with free Ebook.

    A very well organised guide to the silk road. The book is in two main sections covering features of the silk road, e.g. history, culture, religion; and places from China (Xian) to Turkey (Istanbul). It is very well written and illustrated with stunning photographs.
    The guide is printed on high quality paper at the cost of making the physical book rather heavy for travelling. However, the free Ebook provides adequate compensation and a high quality reproduction to accompany you on the road.
