Sahara Overland - By: Don Park, 03 May 2005 
I have to commend this book to anyone contemplating a trip to the desert; there's a lotin here even if "your desert" is notin North Africa. This is a first class work, & invaluable information is contained within. As an old desert-hand myself, it made an interesting read, & proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Excellent handbook fo all vehicle dependant overlanders - By: , 24 Aug 2004 A great review of all you need for a vehicle dependant expedition.Well written & easy to read usefull for anyone wanting information on off-road vehicles for use off-road.
As a 90 defender owner the comments on Landrovers are perfectly valid, the do break down alot & are very badly built, look at the consumer surveys,Ford are even looking to close Solihull down as the build quality is so bad.Despite this I love my Landie even if bits do seem to drop off now & again & it does spend alot of timein the garage.
Great book even for the armchair traveller,all the info you need,a classic, ranks up there with Tom Sheppards Vehicle -Dependant Expedition Guide.

Big, thick, detailed & excellent! - By: , 10 Jan 2004 If you are thinking about a Sahara jaunt( not a weekend city breakin Marrakesh), then this is the starting point. Though extremely detailed, it is readable & more to the point, useful. Not a holiday poolside book, but then again, if you are happy with 7 days all inclusivein Malaga, then maybe this isnt your typr of thing anyway. Now I have to sort out my life & get my expedition started for real...........10 months & counting!
A must - By: Carlomaria, 04 Jan 2004 I read this book many many times & I can say it well worth the money spent! Usefull as a first impression about organizing a trip throughout the desert is dividedin two main section: vehicles description, modifications, & pistes along 9 countries. As a Land Rover Defender owner I didn't appriciate the notice about the Landies vs Toyotas.
