Mapping the Tibetan World is set apart from most other guidebooks on Tibet by its breadth and geographic detail. Mapping is one of the few guidebooks that covers nearly the entire Tibetan plateau, with details on traveling to Kongpo, Eastern Kham, and Amdo, as well as the more well traveled areas of central Tibet. As the title implies, this books contains maps for nearly every significant site it describes (not only popular tourist destinations but a great numerous small towns as well).
