內容提要
本書作者憑著一個藏族人對本民族文化的熱情，以生動優美的筆調寫下了此書。瑪吉阿米餐廳是一家著名的藏族餐廳，最初開在拉薩布達拉宮旁的八角街。瑪吉阿米是傳說中六世達賴喇嘛尋找的女神，她的名字的意思是：處子一樣純潔的母親。拉薩瑪吉阿米餐廳的地址，正是傳說中六世達賴喇嘛曾經下榻過的地方。這家餐廳以濃郁的藏族風情、可口的藏餐而聞名，其裝飾風格和充滿熱情的歌舞表演都充分展現了藏族文化的魅力，吸引了眾多外國遊客。
《都市裡的香格里拉——瑪吉阿米餐廳的故事》則將這一切用文字和圖片表達出來，令外國讀者可以從一種更親切更生動的角度來理解和欣賞藏族文化。相對於其他介紹藏文化的書來說，這裡更多的是於細微處打動讀者的心，例如：關於一個藏式木碗的故事，一把弓和一位藏族獵人的往事等等，充分展現了藏文化除神秘之外的更溫情的、更具人情味的一面。
一直以來，出版社都在努力將外宣書做得更貼近外國讀者。這本書以其生活化的切入點，更多的普通人的故事，做出了嘗試，這種嘗試也在市場上獲得了初步的肯定。
