From the reviews:

“Each chapter of this book, standing alone, would be worth the price of the book.”

“The bad guys are very, very good. This book shows how to make sure that they practice their arts on some other poor sucker, and not you.”

“This book is a must-read for anyone travelling further than their front door.…Moreover, it’s also highly entertaining, and in places, very funny indeed.”

“So, do yourself a favor before you travel: get a copy of Travel Advisory. When you consider the cost and stress and inconvenience of a stolen bag, it could easily be the best few bucks you spend.”
