A lot of "meat" for a vegetarian book

I've had the pleasure of reading some of Geon's other writings, but this so far was the most useful and informative for someone new to vegetarianism such as myself. The tips on beans are worth the read.

Delivers on its Promise

Want to go veg and go abroad, but afraid what you'll be offered? Fear not, savvy traveller. Geon lays it on the line for you. He tells you about regions to avoid (most former Soviet republics that end in "-stan") and where a vegetarian's heaven on earth is (hint: rhymes with "Mindia".) It'd be nice if there were a tape to accompany this, as phonetic transliteration doesn't always cut it. Other than that, a very handy resource.
