Guide des Cités (Le)

(The Guide of the Cities). A remarkable book, first published in 1996 AD. Without a doubt, the best source of practical information for anybody wishing to visit the Obscure World 1. The proportions of the book are the same as those of the famous Michelin Guides. A translation in Dutch has been made, but it contains only a fraction of the original material, but this has been corrected in the most recent edition.
