How much could they cost in Beijing? Where could I buy them? I´ve read that the Lonelyplanet one is really good, what would you say about that?
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

I'm a local Beijingner so never read LP Beijing.:)But LP has a very good reputation and I did read LP Cambodia before I made the trip. LP Cambodia is great. So maybe LP Beijing is well worth trying.

There're bookstores selling imported books, such as Beijing Xidan Book Mansion, Wangfujing Foreign Bookstore, etc.

About LP Beijing(USD17.99), have a look at
http://shop.lonelyplanet.com/product_detail.cfm?productID=2649

You could order LP Beijing online at www.joyo.com, usually you could have a discount of 5~10% off. This site is similar to amazon.com and is very popular in Beijing. The only problem is that it's in Chinese. So if you don't understand, you could ask a local friend for help.
