I agree with the last reviewer that this was a book I could not rely on in Russia. The information is very old, the prices are completely out of whack, and someone in Russia took a look at the book and said it is virtually a carbon copy of the last edition. The details on Siberia were pathetic. It was clear that the writer had only been to a very few places and some information was outright incorrect. I had much better luck with the Trans-Siberian Handbook by Bryn Thomas. The information is three years old, but the information about major cities in Siberia and Russia is comprehensive, accurate, and engaging.
