Kosovo - The Bradt Guide  (Gail Warrander and Verena Kraus - 1st edition published September 2007)

The only English-language guidebook dedicated entirely to Kosovo. Although I haven't yet had the chance to use it in Kosovo myself, I have read it at home and it appears to be a very thorough survey of the country's towns and countryside. Given the dearth of information available elsewhere it should prove very useful to any visitor aiming to venture beyond Pristina.

Pristina In Your Pocket

Presumably bored with covering cliched tourist hotspots like Minsk and Tirana, the IYP crew have created the first English-language guide (probably) to Pristina, with lots of practical information that until now has been very difficult to find anywhere. The maps and public transport information are particularly welcome.
