Baedeker Israel (Baedeker's Israel)

This is the best tour guide for Israel that I have found. The only problem is that the publisher revises it and allows it to go out of print during the process. This time, it have been for well over a year. Is there any way to find out when it will be available again?

My wife and I are going on a tour to Israel in late March and were looking for concise information about the land of Israel. Someone loaned us this book (I have now purchased my own) and it is the best. I have heard many talks, watched my friends slides, attended meetings of former tourists, but nothing has given me better insight into the land, customs, people and sites than the Baedeker book. Our trip is to include an extension into the Sinai peninsula and Mt. Sinai. This book has an excellent description of this area as well as the St. Catherine's Monastary on the mount. The book's pocket size make it excellent for sticking in your day pack. All of the information is arranged in alphabetical form so it is very easy to access. It also includes a fold-out map. Don't miss this one! Fred Brock (fbrock@bbc.edu
