[oznik.comment: We have been able to obtain a copy of the Much Better than the official Michelin Guide and wish to inform our readers that in addition to detailed maps and brief descriptions of Israeli prisons, jails, concentration camps, and torture chambers, this pamphlet also contains a translation of a memoir published in Israel, but nowhere else. Checkpoint Syndrome by Liran Ron Furer, is a personal account of an Israeli soldier's experience as an occupier, and the his being haunted by this memory. A note found among the pages of the book says: "We asked for permission to translate Checkpoint Syndrome from Hebrew into English bit it was denied. Since we think the book is of great importance, we have decided to translate and publish it without permission. The Editors."]
