Title: The Hidden Disappoinment
Product review: If you can find some way for someone else besides you to pay for this book, and you are a Korean studies amateur who is still in the process of creating a knowledge base about the DPRK and the mythology of Pyongyang in particular, then this book is for you. Otherwise, thirty dollars is a ridiculuous price for this 150 page wanna-be Lonely Planet guide to Pyongyang. A simple Google search will net you better pictures and better info on the city itself, particularly if you can read Korean, and if you are really interested in specific aspects of the city then you need a newsgroup or a direct Email to an expert. I was very disappointed when I received this book in the mail - professional or skilled amateur DPRK watchers beware; first timers who found 30 bucks on the street this morning by accident, get some. Nan - bagaji seot da.
