Summary: Excellent guide book
Comment: The only one on the market and needs an update. Since 2006 some things have changed, some prices are up, some are down (yes, true), some places are closed, some reopened and some places were not checked but written on somebody else's stories (ORTPN material that is not always true in reality). Regardless of all that still a very good guide that gives a lot of background and other info that are necessary for understanding this amazing country. Backpacker can not do without it! Very helpful and very recommended.

Summary: an enriching guide to Rwanda
Comment: Janice Booth's Rwanda guide not only is the most updated travel guidebook on Rwanda, but it also goes culturally/historically where the other guidebooks do not go. I spent several weeks in Rwanda in 2003, finding almost all the information in other guidebooks almost completely useless or irrelevant. Due to the genocide, and subsequent arrival of international aid, the entire infrastructure of the country, especially Kigali, had changed, and so the nuts and bolts information of hotels, transport, and other practicalities found in the Bradt guide were of great use.
The personal relationship of the author with Rwandans made it easier for a post-war visitor to understand what the average Rwandan had been through, and the section on "giving back," and what a traveller who had been affected by the country and people could do AFTER visiting the country is something that should be included in a lot of guidebooks.
The only bit of impractical information was that regarding traveller's checks. They are not accepted in banks unless one has an account there, and this is a bit of an obstacle to be surmounted (the national parks office does, and can help with other needs).

Summary: A great guide to Rwanda
Comment: The Bradt Guide is by far the most comprehensive guide to Rwanda that I was able to find. I don't know what I would have done on my trip without it. The book is a mix of background info and travel tips. One good thing to know is that Kigali has added a "5" in front of all the phone numbers since the guide was published.
