Central Asia Refresher

I was about to leap in and say "what a useless bookshop! There are dozens of guides to the 'stans'!" ... but I'm wrong. I'm not sure there are that many.

Bradt Travelguides (http://www.bradt-travelguides.com/) have just published a Turkmenistan guide. That may be what wrong-footed me, I thought they had others. And I've got a Lonely Planet (www.lonelyplanet.com) 'Central Asia' guide, that covers Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, but it was published in 1996 and looking at their catalogue, I don't think they've updated it.

So the region is crying out for some guidebook writers!

(Moderator, I've got some lists of specialist travel companies who go there at http://www.travel-lists.co.uk/mencentras.html but you may not want to include that)
