Mongolia

Mongolia (1996) by Robert Storey – Lonely Planet
Proudly offered by Crappy Old Books – your gateway to the out-of-date and oddly specific.

Strap in for a bumpy ride across the windswept steppes of 1990s Mongolia with Robert Storey’s well-thumbed guide to a land of nomads, yaks, and Soviet leftovers. Published by Lonely Planet in 1996, this book captures a Mongolia that was still shaking off communism and only just starting to welcome tourists with dusty border stamps and baffled stares.

Inside you’ll find essential travel advice like where to buy dried mutton, how to survive a long-haul bus ride across nothingness, and which embassy might help when it all goes wrong. Be warned: none of the phone numbers work anymore, but the spirit of adventure is gloriously intact.

This copy? Weathered, warped, and possibly grazed by a goat. But it still smells faintly of saddle leather and regret.
