I recommend this work to anyone interested in Africa - quite possibly the best you can get without going to Botswana.

A Wonderful Guide!.......2007-05-14

I bought this fantastic little guide in a bookstore in Kathmandu. I used it during my trek around Annapurna and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Much better than the LP guide, and small enough that it doesn't get in the way.

Fabulous book!.......2002-04-01

I did the Annapurna Circuit trek (Around Annapurna) last September with this book. I was my bible.
The book has very good chapters about Nepal in general, Kathmandu and Pokhara but it's strength lies in the trail maps and text.
The maps are very very detailed (you can't get lost...), they indicate where is the next steep climbing and how much time does it takes to the next village. In the text you can find recommendations for eating and lodging (that never miss...).
The book covers all the popular treks in the Annapurna region but also offer side treks for more adventrous trekkers.

The bottom line : Worth every Penny!

Bryn Rocks!.......1999-12-10

This guide is all you need for the Annapurna. Beats the pants off Lonely Planet. Great maps, highlights, places to stay, etc.; small and lightweight; good gear list for preparing, info on when to go; bits on Kathmandu and Pokhara. We hiked the entire circuit and used Bryn several times each day.

Detailed information with excellent maps.......1998-07-19

I found the information in the book was great help. The maps together with the estimated timings were particularly helpful in deciding the route to take.

In addition to the treks Bryn Thomas also gives useful information on places to stay.

We used the book when treking from Jomsom to Pokhara and it was invaluable.

This beautiful, 868-page leather-bound volume contains a delightful collection of stories from one of history's most beloved children's authors. Lewis Carroll's stories are still as fresh and appealing as when they were first published more than a century ago. John Tenniel's original illustrations accompany the Alice stories and bring to life the wildly popular characters so well known to us all: the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, and a passel of others.

Carroll, one of 11 children, knows his audience well. His stories--clever, provocative, and bizarre--capture the imaginations of children worldwide. Though a prolific storyteller from childhood, he went on to become a mathematician, a fact evidenced by the Tangled Tales serial, which contains a mathematical equation in each installment.

Other stories included in this collection are "The Hunting of the Snark," which was composed backward, in a sense, when inspiration for the tale came by way of the last line; "Rhyme? And Reason?"; the Sylvie and Bruno books; and the original Alice story, "Alice's Adventures Underground," penned and illustrated in Carroll's own hand. Two never-before-printed poems, originally inscribed in two storybooks and presented as mementos to a little girl and boy, conclude this enchanting collection.

Book Description

This deluxe edition includes all of Carroll's major fiction and poetry, including Alice and Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, the facsimile of the manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground in Carroll's handwriting and with his own drawings. Also included are a biographical chronology of Lewis Carroll's life, and a selected biography.

...down the rabbit hole.......2007-04-16

This book is really for the person who is really into Carroll and will read through all of his works. It's a thick volume and is useful to me, but this is because i am writing a book so i'm probably not the best judge since i have to read all of the collected works.

Another astute reviewer said, "Do you really want all of the collected works?" But for the price, i say, you may as well buy the book, then you can see what you like and skip around. Who is to say or dictate that you must read cover to cover. You may find there are writings of Caroll thatyou didn't know about before - such as his poetry and so on.

I own the book and find it very handy for reference but also as a genral book of interst. It's also a good gift book for adults and children alike and is a handsome volume and is not muddled up with annotations like many of Carroll's books are these days, which is fine, but more for the scholar. This is the perfect book to dip into and again, a good gift book and as a former publisher i can tell you that the price-point is excellent for what you get here. A bargain.

If you like Carroll's Alice books, you may as well buy this since it will cost you more or as much to buy both of them. This way, you get both Alice books and then some. There is an argumnt right there.

Very poor service from Amazon.......2006-02-23

I This ordered this item back in Oct. It is now Feb, and I have not yet gotten my book. I just keep getting email telling me that the deliver date has been moved back. This has to be among the worse service I have ever got from from a retailer. As for the book, I really can't say anything about it because I haven't got it yet.

item not available.......2006-02-18

I ordered this item in September 2005, and after multiple extensions, Amazon let me know last week (Feb 2006) that this item was no longer available. They should be taking this item off their listing -- it is a great book to have, but regrettably unavailable.

Do you really want the complete works!.......2005-11-07

'The Complete, Fully Illustrated Works, Deluxe Edition' of lewis Carroll's works may actually be more than you really want. While three of Carroll's works, the two Alice fantasy novels and the long poem, 'The Hunting of the Snark' are major classics of English literature, Carroll wrote an equal or greater amount of pretty dull stuff, primarily the two 'Sylvia and Bruno' novels, which I have never been able to finish.

On the plus side, the fact that this edition is 'fully illustrated', meaning that it has both John Tenniel's illustrations for the Alice stories AND Henry Holiday's illustrations for 'Snark'. Even so, you may just be better off buying just the annotated versions of the Alice stories and the annotated Snark.

Forewarned is forearmed!

Kinda disappointed.......2005-01-06

Of course, it is very nice to have pretty much every Carroll work you could want in one volume, however there is one major drawback here. While the blue leather binding and gold gilt text and page edges are quite nice, I found the actual pages to be a very low quality thin paper. Also, the margins are very small, cramming alot of text on each page, while the paper and print quality actually take away a minor of the illustration detail. Overall, not a bad collection, yet I think "The Complete Works of Lewis Carroll" thru B&N is superior even without the bells and whistles.

Do you really need 'complete'.......2005-11-07

'The Complete, Fully Illustrated Works, Deluxe Edition' of lewis Carroll's works may actually be more than you really want.

My suggestion to all but the Carroll scholar and people who want to see his logical works is to buy the annotated versions of the two Alice novels and the annotated 'Snark', all annotated by Martin Gardiner. This way, you are also guaranteed of getting Henry Holiday's illustrations for 'The Hunting of the Snark', which are not in all 'Complete' collections.

Good but not complete.......2002-12-07

On the plus side, this book contains loads of stuff by Lewis Carroll as well as the two Alice books. Not much is of the same quality, but quite a lot is well worth having. However, be aware that the title is misleading. Quite a lot that Lewis Carroll wrote is not here, as can be seen by doing a search for books by "Carroll, Lewis" and comparing that with the contents. It includes some material that appeared under his real name or pseudonyms other than Lewis Carroll, but few will grumble at that. Although all the wonderful illustrations by Tenniel for the Alice books are here (albeit not always clearly reproduced), no other illustrations are included. For some works, such as The Hunting of the Snark, the illustrations commissioned by Carroll are excellent and their omission is a serious drawback. However, for all lovers of the Alice books who want to read more by the author, this is a fair and inexpensive starting point.

wonderful.......2000-04-24

All of Lewis Carroll's books are great. And finaly you can have all of them together in one big book. A must have for everybody!
