 At last some good news April 13, 2006

As a person who has lived in Beirut for most of my life, I found this book very accurate, straight to the point and reflective of the city's style and character.
The book is perhaps one of a few books that looks at this battered nation from a leisure perspective and offers some good news at the time most other books available on the subject limit their literature to political news and regional conflicts.
Not only Short takes in his book Beirut to a new perspective, his elegant style further enriches the Hedonistic dimension of the city as it presents an already entertaining city in a decorative, yet simple, language.
The book is worth the money. Buy it and you'll find yourself boarding the first flight to Beirut.
 Best there is June 30, 2006

This is a useful accompaniment to any trip to Beirut, and at the moment is about the only guidebook available. American embassy staff commend it. Be forewarned, however, that my one attempt to use the maps led to a memorable adventure with a series of Beirut cab drivers, one of whom did eventually find Centrale, the restaurant I sought, but no thanks to the book.
