Summary: Great book but wrong name of author!
Comment: Very glad to see this book listed here and getting some good feedback from your readers. I just wanted to let you know that my name is NOT Hum Henndessy! (though I do quite like the sound of it and have been called worse things). I'm not expecting you to place these comments on your review page, but please change my name to: Huw Hennessy (project editor of Insight Guide Argentina).
Thanks

Summary: Best all around!!!
Comment: I have looked at all the other major books on argentina and out of all of them this is the one book that is complete, tells you what you need to know and moves on.
Most other books are for collage-age youth who want to go and find a bar, cheap hotel and stay up really late. But this is a classy read with beautiful illustrations. This is also coming from someone who is moving to Argentina and knows his stuff so Choose this one and you will not be dissatisfied.

Summary: Beautiful photos, good history, not for your suitcase
Comment: Photographs (all in color) and narrative provide a wonderful introduction to Argentina and its history, but the book's actual value as a "travel companion" is limited. It sometimes reads like the script to a travelogue.."you drive along for xkm and see this town and this town..." It mentions a lot of locations but misses some (Santa Rosa, Neuquen). It would be helpful if the index had references to the map pages and if there were cross references if a place name might be questioned (for example, San Carlos de Bariloche on the map/Bariloche in the index). The travel tips at the back were focused on b.a. and (having just returned) somewhat misleading (the "what to wear" section and its fashion police comments--most places were really casual); the suggestion to take U.S. cash--found atms a better choice; book note that it is no longer "inexpensive" --we found nothing outrageously overpriced. As a pre-trip introduction, a good guide, but too limited in information and too heavy to carry on a trip. For the most complete information and your travel bible, choose instead the new 1998 Argentina handbook!
