Indispensable guidebook for Albania

Gloyer's book inspired my trip to Albania, and it was useful every step of the way.
She offers tips on how to get through the airport without hassles, which hotels are worth booking, and what to see in just about every part of Albania a tourist might go to. Her writing style is well beyond the norm for travel guides, without a hint of the Weltschmerz that afflicts so many travel writers. She has a sly sense of humor, and will even boldly tell you to avoid a hotel run by the local mafia. Also, there aren't many travel guides that include tips on how to help alleviate poverty and suffering in the country being visited, but Ms Gloyer thoughtfully includes such information. She obviously loves the country and is very fond of its people, and it's quite a gift to Albania to have such an honest and worthwhile travel guide available in English.

Anyone for Albania?

I always purchase a guidebook when I move to a new country and finding one on Albania was not easy so I first of all appreciated that Bradt had published a guide book to this not-so-traveled-to-country. The book is good for basic site information but not as comprehensive as some other brands. You won't find another one though so in this case, I am most pleased.
