Customer Reviews

Amazingly True and Humorous!!!
This book captured the essence of urban Vietnam. It was hilarious and amazing what could be transported on the bikes!! I originally saw the book in an airport in Vietnam for $50, but knew I could find it at home for less.

Awesome book!!! Must have after our trip to SE Asia.
This book was a must have after seeing much of this craziness first hand in Vietnam and Cambodia. You see this kind of thing everywhere over there but you can't ever seem to capture it on film since it is usually flying down the road heading the other direction.

Great Book
This is a fantastic book and brought back some many great memories from travelling in that part of the world. A reccommended buy!
