Ask Arthur Frommer & travel
better, cheaper, smarter
This encyclopedic 484-page guide
to smart travel includes not just a wealth
of detail on where and how to travel,
but a bracing dose of Frommer's longtime
travel philosophy: engaged budget travel
is far better than easy luxury travel.
He's right. More...

Lonely Planet Turkey
Ah, what can I say? I wrote
the original
edition (1985) and the six editions
that followed. It's now in other authorial
hands, but is still the best-overall
practical on-the-road guide for budget
travelers, with some suggestions for
more upscale travel.
Lonely Planet Istanbul
I wrote the original
edition of this one, too, though
other authors now update it. It's a
good, comprehensive guide to the city
with lots of maps, photos, and a wider
range of hotels and restaurants than
Lonely Planet Turkey.
Lonely Planet Turkey Travel
Atlas
I wrote this one and helped
with the cartography. the maps are
quite detailed, good for someone delving
deep into the country.
Rough Guide Turkey
A worthy competitor to Lonely
Planet Turkey, its committee of authors
covers the country in depth and with
attitude (sometimes a bit too much
of both?)
Rough Guide Istanbul
A fine guide to the city,
though it follows the current guidebook
fashion of going too far off the tourist
track, recommending places and activities
that might be enjoyed by someone who
has moved to the city for a few months,
but might be a bit too obscure and
time-consuming for someone who has
but a few days here.
Frommer's Turkey
I wrote the first seven editions
of this guide, but the current book
is a completely rewritten effort by
Lynn Levine, a fine author doing
a great job with limited resources.
Extensive descriptions of hotels and
restaurants make it easy to pick those
special places to stay and to dine
that make your trip memorable.
Dorling Kindersley Istanbul
Beautifully designed and lavishly
illustrated, this fine cultural, historic
and artistic guide is a great way to
learn about the city. The practical
information tends to be less up-to-date
and useful than that in Lonely
Planet Istanbul or Rough Guide
Istanbul, but
the cultural stuff is much better.
Turkey:
Bright Sun, Strong Tea,
by Tom
Brosnahan

memoir good for cultural and societal background. Excerpts,
