Pocket Map and Guide Istambul
I can not make any review by the simple reason that till now I did not received the book I've bought a month ago.

overall good
I found this to be a nice overview of Istanbul. However, some of the recommended restaurants/cafes were nowhere to be found, and I was surprised by some prejudiced comments in it.
I would recommend Rick Steves' guide instead- it was very useful for getting the most out of a short trip as well as giving concise history/cultural info, and the DVD (which i borrowed from the library) "Hidden Turkey" was a nice overview of a few aspects of the country (agriculture, food, culture etc.)

Can't wait to use this.
Istanbul is my next travel destination. I've got all the big books, but I plan to take this one out with me day-by-day. It's got a clear, easy to read map and simple descriptions of the things I want to do. Small enough to fit into any pocket.
