.Lonely Planet Japan

by: Chris Rowthorn, Ray Bartlett, Andrew Bender

October 15, 2007
I just wanted to add to the comment I left on Fodor's Japan. This one provides plenty of information, including accomodations, in Miyazaki City. I wouldn't waste my money on Fodor's Japan. I'm looking forward to my return there in 2009.

.Lonely Planet New England

by: Kim Grant, Andrew Bender, Alex Hershey

July 29, 2005
Hey, I bought this book and liked it...and I'm a native New Englander. The coverage for Maine is particularly good, or at least I thought so.

However, I'm posting this not so much to let y'all know that the guide is good, but to say that this book is in it's third edition, published in 2001. All of the reviews here date from 2000 and before. They apply to the second edition of the book, not the third. So take them with a grain of salt, cuz LP changes it's content alot when they update old editions.

Just my two cents.

.Lonely Planet Tokyo

by: Andrew Bender, Wendy Yanagihara

August 15, 2006
The Lonely Planet guides are very often the best when it comes to providing practical information such as maps, changing money, the best way to get from A to B, etc. This edition of the Tokyo guide is no exception. It has everything you need to plan your trip and to get around Tokyo.

This edition is also an improvement over the prior editions when it comes to cultural recommendations, such as restaurants, walking tours, interesting shops, museums, etc. The "Time Out" guide is probably still better is the cultural department, but it is weak when it comes to maps, etc., so it may be worth taking both guides.

.Lonely Planet Citiescape Tokyo

from: Lonely Planet

October 15, 2006
If this book is like any of the others in the Lonely Planet series, it's bound to rate five-stars. If when it's delivered, it proves less, then I'll return to this review and downsize the rank.

I can't wait to learn more about Tokyo and its "whiz kids" and see the photographs.

.Lonely Planet Amsterdam

by: Andrew Bender

March 15, 2006
The value in "Lonely Planet Amsterdam" is in the thumbnail sketches of cafes and reasonably-priced restaurants. The descriptions of the establishments that I am familiar with were right on the money. They are grouped by neighborhood and have basic information, such as opening hours. I was disappointed that Indonesian restaurants were short-changed, because they "aren't authentically Asian." True, but an Indonesian rijstafel shared between half a dozen or more people is not too expensive and is an authentically Dutch form of entertainment. The biggest problem with the book is that it doesn't open flat. You need both hands to force it open wide enough to read comfortably and then it's hard to flip through the pages. And you will do a lot of flipping, ... Read More:
