Recommended for newbies and adventurers alike.

It's spectacularly well-edited, you rarely find yourself having to turn the page to read the last two sentences of a section before putting the book down.

Well thought, interestingly written, carefully crafted.

Even if you have a well worn copy of the last edition, it's worth upgrading to the latest (Nov, 2012 - 6th ed) of the AMH. Tons of new material and the same solid format that made this book great in the first place. Buy the book, read the book, ride out to an Overland Expo or a Horizons Unlimited meetup, do a few exploratory journeys (mostly to see how *little* you need to be comfortable on the road then go for it...

This book makes me want to hop on a motorcycle and ride everywhere! This book gives the aspiring ADV rider the recommendations necessary to get going. It's suggestions are extensive and cover many things that would have otherwise been overlooked (travel visas, international insurance, carnets, etc).

I've found it very easy to read for both short and long stints. It's spectacularly well-edited, you rarely find yourself having to turn the page to read the last two sentences of a section before putting the book down. The writing is concise and gives examples and alternatives that might be helpful to riders of all skill levels.

If you're even a bit interested in overland travel via motorcycle you should absolutely get this book. You won't be disappointed.

This, my Haynes manual, and 'Proficient Motorcycling'... all great books for someone who just bought a bike and honestly intends on doing something with it. I have been through it once, and I'm going back making notes for my upcoming TransAmerica Trail trip.
