Estonia

Lonely Planet Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania

Nicola Williams

Lonely Planet, 2006

Comprehensive and Concise
The authors managed to stuff everything you need to know in a relatively small book. I have been in the Baltics three times and know Latvia quite well, but this book will enrich my next trip (the relatives and locals can only do so much). I recommed it.

Folk Knitting in Estonia : A Garland of Symbolism, Tradition, and Technique

Nancy Bush

Interweave Press, 2000

One of the BEST knitting books--don't miss it
Mittens, socks and pretty patterns. This is a very compelling knitting book that has a lot of cultural information about the Estonian people--a nation related to the Finns in the Baltic region. The patterns include how to do "vits" or decorative braid, a feature ...

Knitted Lace of Estonia: Techniques, Patterns, and Traditions

Nancy Bush

Interweave Press, 2008

Stunning - Lace Lovers Rejoice!
I will preface this review with the fact that I got to take a class with Nancy Bush on Estonian Lace at SOAR 2008, and what a great preview to the book it was! I got to see these shawls, and shawls like these first hand, so I can say they really are as beautiful in ...

Lake Peipus 1242: Battle of the ice (Campaign)

David Nicolle

Osprey Publishing, 1997

Compelling intruduction to an obscure conflict.
The complaints in some of the other reviews about this title are a bit like executing the messenger. The battle of Lake Peipus is obscure, poorly known in the west (but of epic importance in Russia). The battle of Lake Peipus ended the Eastern Crusader's aspirations ...

The History of the Baltic States (The Greenwood Histories of the Modern Nations)

Kevin O'Connor

Greenwood Press, 2003

Excellence
The product was in excellent shape when I received it. The book looked as if it were new and bought right off the book store shelf.

Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)
DK Publishing

DK Travel, 2009

Tallinn, 2nd: The Bradt City Guide (Bradt Mini Guide)

Neil Taylor

Bradt Travel Guides, 2007

Great Guide for Touring Tallinn
It was out first trip to Tallinn so we needed to know everything. This little book provided the answers. We maximized our time in the city by reading about the recommended sights to see, how to get there, the costs, if any. Learning about the history of the city ...

The Baltic Revolution: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Path to Independence

Anatol Lieven

Yale University Press, 1994

Solid and opinionated, landmark of the era
This well-written, confident and elegantly worded book will not be the guidebook to the Baltics of today, but this is not why you would be picking this book in this day and age. 'The Baltic Revolution' is now firmly a part of the shelf looking at history - albeit a ...

Crusader Castles of the Teutonic Knights, Vol. 2: The Stone Castles of Latvia and Estonia, 1185-1560 ...

Stephen Turnbull

Osprey Publishing, 2004

One of Osprey's best
I was disappointed with the first volume so I delayed before reading the second. It was an error. This was a much more enjoyable to read and seems to have more content. Whereas I felt the Prussian volume skimped on all but the architecture and the organization because ...

Karin Annus Karner

Hippocrene Books, 2006

estpmoam tastes amd tradotopms
The book came timely and in condition promised. I was very happy with the service.

Estonia, 5th: The Bradt Travel Guide

Neil Taylor

Bradt Travel Guides, 2007

Travel information
On a cruise next year, we will be able to spend 9 hours in Tallinn, Estonia. Since we have never been there before, I found this book to be very helpful with a map of the city and interesting places to visit. It was also interesting to read the history about a country ...

Ancient Song Recovered:: The Life And Music of Veljo Tormis (Dimension & Diversity Series)

Mimi S. Daitz, Veljo Tormis

Pendragon Press, 2004

NO CD came with my book order
This book looks very interesting, but the accompanying CD did not arrive with the book. I'm finding it difficult to find the way to let Amazon know the CD was missing. If Amazon, or any customer can get back to me about this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

JPM Publications SA,Switzerland, 2007

Hedonist's Guide To Tallinn 1st Edition (Hedonist's Guide to..., A)

Laurence Shorter

HG2, 2007

Ace guide to Tallinn
Absolutely the best guide to the Tallinn night life. Must be a totally indispensible help to anyone organising a stag do! There's definitely some decadent stuff here!
