1.Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest DisasterInto Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster
from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I remember the spring of 1996 and the Everest disasters very well. I was stuck in traffic when a writer named Jon Krakauer was briefly interviewed on NPR when he first returned as one of the survivors of a deadly climb. I had never given mountaineering or Everest much thought but the drama, and... more info

from Broadway
Price: $13.77

Customer Review:
J. Maarten Troost is a charming person with a wonderful story to tell and an unflagging sense of humor. Unfortunately, my pleasure in his writing was marred by the many signs that he is not a native English speaker and apparently neither is his editor. While his story is totally absorbing, the... more info

from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
Some of the most compelling nonfiction
audiobooks produced for American listeners
today are about China. They tend to fit into two
categories -- the personal memoir, such as Peter
Hessler's "River Town: Two Years on the
Yangtze," and the fact-driven, such as Ted more info

7.Thailand (Country Guide)Thailand (Country Guide)
from Lonely Planet

Customer Review:
Basically, my main complaint is that they took out the good stuff from the old edition and replace them with irrelevant stuff.
One example would be in the last edition, they had a section with color pictures of different types of food served in Thailand, something I find interesting to note... more info

8.The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese FoodThe Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food
from Twelve
Price: $16.49

Customer Review:
As others have said, Ms. Lee writes very well, and most of this was really interesting. But she has a total blind spot about fortune cookies, and for me, there was WAY too much stuff about trying to research exactly who invented them. When I realized that I was starting a THIRD chapter on this same... more info

10.Lonely Planet ChinaLonely Planet China
from Lonely Planet Publications
Price: $21.11

Customer Review:
I used this book only in Beijing and Shanghai, so I can only vouch for those two sections. The maps of Beijing were great, when they were there. Because the book appears not to have been copy edited, there are lots of references to more detailed maps there are not actually in the book.
Also,... more info
