Title: Refuses to recognize Israel as a Country!
Review: This book is either Anti-Israeli or is still following the Arab boycott of Israel. This book makes almost no mention of the country of Israel except in the fine print where the information is essential such as arrival information at Ben Gurion Airport in the back of the book. None of the maps mention Israel although Epypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are labeled. I could never trust such a biased book. Admittedly the book is very well illustrated like all the Knopf travel books. I found Frommer's "Israel 2nd Edition" to be more informative, trustworthy, objective and helpful. It is the Frommer's book that I am purchasing from Amazon and taking on my upcoming trip to Israel. The Knopf book I am returning to the library.
