Not very good, but its all there is - Rated
If you have to go to Macedonia & need a guide book, then the chances are, this is all you have available in English.It may not be as well written as other Bradt guides & its coverage of certain features seem to be patchy ,seemimgly dependent upon the authors priorities & opinions, but you dont have much choice.Its a start, but Bradt should do better with guide like this. In its ( limited ) field, its the leader.Unless you need it urgently, wait until Travel professionals have re-edited the book for a revised & more comprehensive 2nd edition.

An excellent guide to a little-known country! - Rated
This book proved invaluable on a recent holiday in Macedonia. The book's strengths are certainly on eating and drinking, accommodation and out-of-the way sights. For example, the suggestion to visit Prilep if one wants to see a "typical" Macedonian town was excellent. The language section is also good - much better than the Lonely Planet Eastern Europe Phrasebook which is the only other Macedonian language pocket-book that I could find. One minor point is that more detail on specific sights (for example, there were only a few lines on the Painted Mosque in Tetovo) and better maps could be included. Overall, however, this book is practically everything a guide book should be!
