Seeing as how it is designed as an overview, you get more than your money's worth (less than ten bucks including shipping). Want to give a friend something to read on the airplane ride over before they meet you in Korea? This book fits the bill quite nicely.
I'm honestly surprised that this book gets over-shadowed by the "Lonely Planet" series. Ignore the hype and pick up this book.
Certainly not the best book on the planet but respectable for such a small little text. Although the amount of history is negligible, the simplicity of the book for the everyman is what I envy. I love how plainly it's written. It appeals to a wide audience. Hopefully, this inspires others to pick up academic texts later as it did for me. For a small culture book, it gets the job done. ( )
