Chris Scott, 2nd edition, Trailblazer Publications 2004
This book is the bible for any Sahara-bound traveller. The first edition guided us on the Moroccan pistes from Tinerhir to Alnif and Merzouga to Tagounite. It resulted in an update for this second edition, packed with tips for preparation and on the road as well. Clear descriptions of pistes in nearly all Saharan countries. A must-have.
