Bolivia Handbook Alan Murphy Tourist guidebook. From the British people that have published that "Latin America Handbook" for decades. Contains quite good general background information, but detailed local information is weak. Like that other guide, this one lists hotels in different cities and tells you how much they cost as of the book publication date. Chicago: Passport Books/Footprint Handbooks; 1st Edition was 1997   Bolivia in Focus Paul Van Lindert Recommended, but I've not been able to see a copy. Latin American Bureau, UK; 2004 0-906156-91-2   Bolivia: A Lonely Planet Survival Kit Deanna Swaney Tourist guidebook; the Lonely Planet Guides come highly recommended. Lots of hints for people who aren't afraid to "rough it" a little. Oakland, CA: Lonely Planet Publications; 3rd Edition was 1996   Culture Shock! Bolivia By Mark Kramer An introduction to Bolivian life and social customs on a generic level, full of interesting anecdotes, by a "Gringo" who lives there and loves Bolivia.
