Lonely Planet Across Asia on the Cheap eBook Tony Wheeler
I get that others would give this negative reviews for it's 21st century irrelevance *as a modern travel guide*. I don't think that this is why this has been made available in Kindle. This is hippie trail travel guru Tony Wheeler's opening shot which birthed the now-ubiquitous Lonely Planet guides, including some cute and funny illustrations. It's a fascinating trip back, and well-worth the read, both for younger folks who would be interested in what innovative travel was like pre-Internet, and for their elders who may or may not remember this when it was new (or new-ish, as was my case).Thanks to the publishers for making it available in this format... "on the cheap."

Lonely Planet Across Asia on the Cheap eBook Tony Wheeler Reviews
Nice book
I used the first "yellow Bible "in 1974.
This is NOT a travel guide for today but more a step back when times were a bit more relaxed. -)
a great walk down memory lane!!!
Great book, very informative. Makes my travel bug flutter.
Very Informative
I came to Australia overland in 1972. It was great to read the first Lonely Planet book. Afterwards The books where the travellers bible. Interesting to read the prices. Darwin - Bali was quoted at $88 then. You can get cheaper specials now in 2013. $88 would have been about a week and a half's wages then.
Read in a few sittings. Really enjoyed some of the historical information and a look back at how the middle east has changed to remain the same. Overland is a better way of seeing things than through the airport. Lack of money can also be a great agent to try something new. Wish I could return to 1972 sell my stereo and see the world as only youth allows. Great read not threatening.
Reading this book brought tears to my eyes. Somehow I got a copy of this book- the front page was torn off I think. As I reread this book I realized that this was probably the first guide to travel across Asia and the Middle East. Over the years I had forgotten so much and wondered- how on earth did I ever know how to get across? This book brought it all back. It also made me realize how much things have changed in the world. At the time the Viet Nam war was on, you could not go into Ankor Wat , and you COULD travel all through Afganistan, Iran, Syria. There were so many questions that were not clear. The Pakistan-India border for example. Due to a recent war and all the politics it really wasn't clear if one could cross by land or not. I remember reading the crossing passage over and over , parsing each phrase before I finally just took the plunge and headed for that border. ( I made it across into Pakistan and was actually welcomed!).
It was wonderful to find this book and relive my adventures. Well worth perusing to see what it was like to travel in the 70's on the cheap!
