Subject says most of it. I caught the release story in Friday's Borneo Bulletin; was already going to Yayasan Mall, so decided to check w/ Paul & Elizabeth Bookstore to see when they would have it.

Already did! It is up right near the front. As a bonus, there is a big, foldable map of Brunei included. Contour color-coded so you can see where highlands & lowlands are; everything is up to date as of publication, and it is a 'normal' western-style country/road atlas.

Cost is BND$15. Besides the map/atlas, the book is bulked up with other Brunei-related info - about 40% of the book, presented in the back. It includes a Country Profile, Attractions, Dining & Shopping, Hotels & Travel Agents, Transpo & Civil Aviation and a section on Road Safety. Haven't pored over that part yet; I'm just happy to see where everything is & how to get from point A to B!

Lets just hope they decide to distribute it decently, make it available at the Airport, border crossings, Shell stations, etc.

Oh - and for those who didn't know - this is the first release/update in 12 YEARS. So it may be something of use if you plan on being here awhile!

Cheers!

welcome - I see they also have a color ad for it in the Borneo Bulletin, as well - I'm guessing it will be a pretty hot seller!

And I did get the PM - working on it now.

Cheers!
