Críticas:

Hugely impressive... deeply researched, written with flair and passion, and enriched throughout with Azar's beautiful photography. All the historic sites get their due, but so do the foods, costumes, arts and traditions of the Palestinians... this enticing and absorbing book genuinely does what its genre should: it makes you want to go there. --The Independent

The book is lavishly illustrated by stunning colour photographs from award winning photographer George Azar... The meticulous text masterfully lays out the organic connections between land, people, and history. I highly recommend the book to read, enjoy, and give to others as a unique and fresh perspective very different from the guidebooks authored by non-natives. --Middle East Journal

Beautifully produced with sumptuous pictures by George Azar... Excellent maps... Palestine: A Guide is a book to browse before you go, and to treasure on your return. It should whet the appetite of anyone contemplating a trip. --Palestine News

For the armchair traveller and the prospective visitor, this is a useful primer... beautifully illustrated... --The Daily Telegraph

Serves as a wonderful resource for those actually traveling to Palestine, and makes a touching gift of defiance for those still dreaming of a return to Palestine. --Lynne Rogers, Al Jadid Magazine

Valuable... This is truly a guidebook, a resource for readers seeking information about the cultural, social, and geographic character of Palestine, a region with a long history but no current political existence. Shahin provides detailed descriptions of every region-its people, towns, settings, and historic sites-while photographer Azar contributes a multitude of attractive and colourful photographs depicting a wide range of residents and places. --Library Journal
