A very basic guidebook that describes the Karakorum Highway or KKH for cycling purposes. It answers questions like how expensive it can be, where to start, how is the road like, what kind of bike/clothes/camping equipment/etc. should a traveller include, visa information, how easy is to cross from Pakistan to China, what kind of towns or villages can be found etc.
It does not include a description of bars, restaurants or every single sleeping option, since a lot of people who is doing a trip like this would want to find out that on his/her own. Also, so it doesn't feel like the guidebook is telling you where to go or what to visit. It includes the opinion of the writer, though.
Maps and altitude profiles are included, and also links to download GPS trails. Lost of pictures ilustrate the route.
Very worth for its price.
