I carried this text all through Malawi. It is very heavy, so I regretted the decision once I was there. However, I held onto it because I sensed that I would value it for nostalgic reasons when I returned home. This isn't a good everyday reference book for getting around the country, but valuable for its photos and loving summaries of Malawi's different regions once back from your journey.
My Sister left for this country on 8/29/08. I wanted to read about the area and see various pictures. There is a lot of information in this book.
