One solitary book about the Philippines in the library

[Ako Si Jamie]

And that only arrived a couple of months ago but still nobody has taken it out yet. :thumbsdown:

Plenty on Thailand though.

Exactly. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I used the Lonely Planet Guide as my bible during my early visits to the Phils, and also bought the other Asian LP guides when wandering further afield.
Excellent books, if a little heavy. No internet then of course. :smile:

The other well known series is the 'Rough Guide' books, not as detailed as the LP ones though IMO.

As I've mentioned before, 'Imelda' (Biography) is a really good read for those interested in the Marcos era and the excesses of that family.

Well, naturally we're blessed with a good library in York, with the place being full of studious types.
I mainly used to go there to read all the free car mags in the reference section though. :icon_lol:

Just the same situation here in sunny Wakefield and our one and only copy was 8 years old although, they did buy an up to date copy after I asked.
