I travelled extensively throughout South America for almost a year with the 2008 version. While not essential, it does come in handy from time to time.
Strengths: - Far, far better than the ubiquitous Lonely Planet (all South American editions), which is a complete waste of space for all but the most nauseatingly banal style of travelling. - Introduces some places a little off the beaten track. - Gives approximate journey times and transport-company names between many locations. - Rugged construction. Weaknesses: - Tries to do too much (see suggestion below). - Could be more concise. For example, too much space is wasted waffling on about 'pleasant' (reality: dull) cathedrals. ...

A book for bikers (or wannabe bikers) who are looking for more than just a trip to the coast or pub of a weekend. Well written, entertaining, and above all inspires the desire to want to do one of the trips described. Great photos, simple maps and descriptions of each trip, most based on the authors personal experiences so well informed.

This more than just a description of a museum. This is also a journey into the history of the natural sciences and a part biography as well. Well illustarted, Richard Fortey describes an institution that is trying hard (and succeeding if the new Darwin Centre is any guide)to move with the times, make science accesible to the public, yet has more going on behind the scenes than we could ever give credit.
Anyone who lives in or visits London should pay more than one visit to this marvelous place, and thanks to this book they will be well briefed as to what goes and has gone on there. >>More Details |

A Coast to Coast Walk: A Pictorial Guide (Wainwright Pictorial Guides)by: Alfred Wainwright September 03, 2003 Best Selling > Travel > Guidebook Series |

I did the Coast to Coast walk back in '89 (in baking hot weather) and again - partly - in '96 (in pouring rain). Up to this day the memory of this walk remains with me as vividly as ever and I consider that forthnight as the most wonderful two weeks in my life. AW learnt me to appreciate the North English Countryside with its quiet villages and open spaces, its desolate moorlands and austere fells. Furthermore, I consider this guide a little gem because of the hand drawn illustrations, maps and (witty) narrative. I mean - who hand-writes a book?
These days you will need additional map material because the route has changed in places, but this book is a requirement. I still remember reading the C-to-C walker's log book in the Danby Wiske pub where Wainwright in '89 ... Read More: >>More Details |

My wife and I found this a very useful book for our 6-week road trip around the US in 2007. Initially we found it useful in the planning stage - the book suggests itineraries for 11 road trips, with small maps and descriptions of all towns/cities on the route, together with accommodation, places to eat and roadside attractions. When you are faced with the whole of the US to visit, we found it helpful to have these suggestions as a starting point. You don't have to follow them - we ended up stitching together parts of three different routes from the book and doing some of our own things as well. (We also used the Rough Guide and found that a large-scale road atlas was a must as well.)
When we travelled along the suggested routes we used the book throughout the ... Read More: >>More Details |

Found the book a very handy reference for the journey - interesting and well written, with a good deal of practical detail, great value recommendations. Excellent coverage of both cities and more remote areas. The author's own fascination with the country is very contagious. Highly recommended.

Like a lot of people we used to travel a lot before having kids. Now with children aged one and three we've been trying to work out the best way to holiday as a family i.e. how the kids can be happy, we can get a well deserved relaxing break, and we can have fun as a family. Not an easy thing to do. I've picked up a few of these books and they've never really got the balance right, they're either not practical enough, or they're so practical they take the fun out of the idea travelling with young a family.
This book gets it just right. It's beautifully produced, which makes it a pleasure to read. The advice and guidance is full of practical stuff, but delivered in a way that's meant to give you the inspiration and confidence to get on and book that trip. I've just booked ...

Kilimanjaro: The Trekking Guide to Africa's Highest Mountain - 2nd Edition (Trailblazer Guides)by: Henry Stedman October 10, 2006 Best Selling > Travel > Guidebook Series |

Stedman's trekking guide to Kilimanjaro really is a gem of a guide. It provides just about all the information you might need to help you conquer Africa's great white peak. A mine of practical information that will help take you from planning your trip to the summit and which you will probably find you take with you on your way up the mountain.Certainly when I turned Kilimanjaro into Kili half the party I was with had a copy of this book with them!
Henry Stedman covers his subject very methodically taking you from the early planning of which tour companies to use or if you arrange your trek on arrival which trekking agencies to use. The equipment you will need and the health precautions you should take. He progresses through the practicalities of how to get to Tanzania even giving ... Read More: >>More Details |

Despite saying that this book was revised in 2006, some entries were already out of date. For example, it lists "James Bond" Bottoms Up in Tsim Sha Tsui. This bar closed in 2004 (and is different to the bar with the same name which is now operating in Wan Chai).
Apart from a few exceptions, most things are still accurate, and the "10 best..." format works well for a concise and pocket-size guide, and with several thumbnail pictures per page, is light and easy to dip into. It ranges in detail from "10 Highlights of Hong Kong" to "10 places to People Watch in Tsim Sha Tsui", with pages on bars, places to eat, 10 Security Tips, the 10 best sights in each region etc. Around 85 "10" lists in all (by my reckoning), plus overview pages and some "one day itinerary" ideas. >>More Details |
