Ancient Angkor is an informative guidebook to the complete complex of Angkor and other Angkorian sites in Cambodia such as the Roluos group. The lavish photographs of the temples and other sites are complemented by an informative introduction by Freeman to each site.

Each entry introduces the site in question and recommends whether one should visit it depending on how much time and how historically and culturally significant it is. The guide's introduction also has an interesting history of Khmer architecture and culture that is embodies at Angkor.

An excellent resource both for planning one's trip to Angkor and while one is there. ( )

This is actually a great guide book to grab before you go to Angkor Wat. There are many places around the Wat complex where they will sell you a (poorly) photocopied version of the same book for about the cost of the color/bound one. ( )
