New Odyssey Guide to Uzbekistan

I'm very proud to announce that a new edition of the Odyssey Guide to Uzbekistan has been published. It's been 30 years since my co-author Calum Macleod and I wrote the first edition, back in the days when just getting a visa was a major ordeal. Over the years the country has changed beyond recognition and our guide includes all the very latest changes in the country. If you don't know the Odyssey format, it is strong on cultural, historical and background information, as well as photos. We are confident that this is the most detailed and comprehensive guide to Uzbekistan available. If you want to truly understand the context of what you are seeing, or want to get off the beaten track into the unrenovated corners of the country, this is the book for you.

The book has been a real labour of love, and a rare example of what can happen when professional writers are given free reign to create their own type of guidebook, without the constraints of major guidebook word count budgets or editorial regulations. We hope you enjoy it. The book is available in the UK at Amazon.com and in all good bookstores. Here are a few page spreads to give you an idea of the book.

Drop me a line if you have any questions about it. Thanks!
