First-Time Asia is not a guidebook: it's a book to read before you go, a planning handbook, and has been divided into five main sections.
    The colour section introduces Asia, with inspired ideas for what to see and do on your trip.
    Where to go includes profiles of the 21 most accessible countries in Asia, giving you a taste of what they hold in store, along with suggested highlights.
    The big adventure tackles the nuts and bolts, with advice on buying tickets, budgeting and packing, as well as how to get around and what to expect from life on the road in Asia.
    The directory is crammed with useful addresses, websites and phone numbers for everything from tour operators and equipment suppliers to volunteer organizations and travel clinics.
    The book concludes with a comprehensive index and all the small print, including details of how to send in updates and corrections to this book.
