Saint Petersburg is, as we all agree, one of the most beautiful cities of Europe; but because of its chequered twentieth century history, it is still one of the least well known. For most of us Saint Petersburg is no more than an acquaintance. We are rill getting to know it and for such a a purpose we need all the help we can lay our hands on.
You now hold in your hands the first guide book exclusively devoted to the lesser known museums in the city. It will tell you what they are, where they are, when they are open and what you can expect to find in them. It will open a new world, a Saint Petersburg that lies behind the great palaces and churches; that has seen much, experienced much and suffered much; and that is prepared to reveal its secrets to anyone who takes the trouble to investigate and inquire.

reviewed Saint Petersburg: Museums, Palaces and Historic Collections (Museum Guides) on September 09, 2010 Saint Petersburg
This was a very good first person adventure about travel in a motorized inflatable raft up the Lena river in Siberia. What made this book so interesting is Tayler's multilingualism and his interest in history and Russian politics. He visits many small dying towns along the river and speaks with members of minority cultures and people that the new Soviet system have left behind. The boating was interesting but, until he enters the Arctic Circle, it was not particularly adventurous so he rightly focuses on the views of his guide and the heart wrenching stories of those he meets. His writing could benefit from a little less reliance on a thesaurus or, if his vocabulary is truly that amazing, he would benefit his readers by not going so overboard.
