Subject: Russia by Rail Guide 1st Update
***************************************************************
MEDIA RELEASE: A RUSSIAN GUIDEBOOK THAT'S NEVER OUT OF DATE
***************************************************************
10 January 1997
The first update from the guide, Russia by Rail including Belarus &
Ukraine, has just been released.
Despite the almost daily changes in Russia, the guidebook will maintain its
currency because regular updates can be downloaded free from the Internet.
The downloads will include information on a range of subjects including
updates on prices, new hotels, and visa rule changes plus additional
interesting background information, traveller's feedback and other travel
resources.
Although Russia by Rail has only been available since September 1996, the
first update is already available. It consists of about 14,000 words which
were deleted by the publisher to keep the book's size down to a massive 500
pages.
Updates will be produced every 3 to 6 months and they can be downloaded or
viewed via the World Wide Web from the Australian web site
http://www.russia-rail.com/updatehome.htm.
This media release is available from http://www.russia-rail.com/media/media1.htm
