THE ROUGH GUIDE TO TRAVEL HEALTH. By Dr Nick Jones

This excellent little book (it's the same size as your passport but a bit thicker!) really should be considered an essential piece of kit for the traveller. It has a very good and very full A-Z section on just about any disease you may encounter. There is also a good section on planning your trip and then a useful country by country section on what to expect when you get there.

All this for the amazing price of only £5.00 (I really thought that it would have been £10.00!!) and is available from good book shops - published by Rough Guides and distributed by The Penguin Group - ISBN 1-85828-570-4
