Part of the Jetlag Travel series - this is completely piss-funny.
Written by Santo Cilauro, Tom Gliesner and Rob Sitch - well-known Australian TV performers, this is a parody of Lonely Planet/Frommers etc style travel guides.
Molvania is a fictional eastern European country. This guide was followed up by Phaic Tan: Sunstroke on a Shoestring about a fictional south-east Asian destination - but this is a little difficult to read right now given recent events.
Don't know how widely available these would be overseas - but anyone who has travelled around Europe or Asia with their well-thumbed Lonely Planet in the backpack - check out the website - I'm sure you'll find them quite amusing:

Picked this up at Goodwill a while back - at 37 cents, a good deal. Not as funny as some others in the travel humor genre. I would recommend the Cherry-Garrard book, which manages to carry an entirely inappropriate chin up tone all the way through.
