great for info on sights, and history
It even has maps and diagrams of some major sights, which are really useful if you don't have a tour guide. This book has great color photos and is great to bring along as a sightseeing guide. It doesn't have as much info on hotels and restaurants (only a few are listed for each city, and all are in a separate index in the back of the book - not in the main section for each city). It also doesn't have much in the way of practical info (i. e. where to find an internet cafe or postoffice, public transportation info, airline office locations, etc. ) I took this book and Let's Go Vietnam with me on a recent trip. I preferred to bring this book with me when I went sightseeing, but I wouldn't have been able to get by without the practical info I got from Let's Go. .

A Beautiful Look at Vietnam
The writing is superb, giving the reader a rich history and an insider's view of Vietnam today. Vietnam has never looked so good. The photography is what you would expect from National Geographic, each photo telling a story about the place it was taken. In all, the book is the best of the lot of Vietnam travel books. I recommend it for your trip to Hanoi, Saigon or anywhere in between.
