Lonely Planet Pakistan & the Karakoram Highway
 
Hi friends,

I'm preparing for a trip from Europe to Cambodia next year. Now it seems the book mentioned in the title isn't available any longer at the LP website. I would like to get the pdf version because I don't want to carry 10 printed Lonely Planets. Any idea where to buy/download the 2008 edition?

Thanks much.

Legally - out of print books can be bought second hand (AbeBooks - Used Books, Rare Books, New Books & Textbooks is one to use) ... I don't known about out of supply? PDF books...

Books in your possession can be photographed by your digital camera .. they take a lot less space and weight a lot less when stored this way for your trip... and as you use it you can delete them to obtain more space for your photos.

It's available on Amazon for $47 used or $167 new!
:eek:
What a bargain.

Photographing all the LP's from all the countries I'm going through isn't doable. The new LP from India alone (16th edition) is 1248 pages! Even if you did this you would not have the search functionality that every eBook version offers.

I already purchased the LP eBook of Turkey, Iran and Nepal and I'm waiting for the new eBook of India to come available in ePub format (at the moment only available in pdf but ePub offers more functionality). Then I'm just missing Pakistan. There is still some time left so I hope to find the pdf version before I leave.

Speaking about bargains... there are even a few offered at $1.352! :eek3:

I'll bet Lonely Planet Pakistan was never issued as a PDF. There are three paperbacks available at $7 USD on eBay and a bunch at $3.50 USD through Abe's.

Thanks for the link but... this is the edition from 2004 and I'm looking at the latest edition which is from 2008. Not sure what Abe's is.

Well, I found abebooks and they have indeed several but they are all older editions. I still hope there is a PDF version. Thanks for the help anyway. bier

Have you seen this pdf version?

Pakistan & Karakoram Highway

Not sure about its legality, etc. but wanted to point it out.
