.Cadogan Guide to Rhodes and the Dodecanese by: Cadogan Books February 26, 1999 This was one of the worst travel books I have ever picked up! As a travel journalist myself, I was shocked to find that in many instances the authors did not even bother to research exact addresses. They simply wrote, "ask the locals." Isn't that what Cadogan Guides paid these writers for? In addition, it's pretty scant--information you could easily find within a day of your stay on one of the islands. It was poorly researched! When I wrote to the publishers, livid that I had spent the money on a book that doesn't even list full addresses, they did not even bother to reply. That is how concerned they were with a reader's opinion. >>See More Reviews & Details on Cadogan Guide to Rhodes and the Dodecanese |

.Madrid Seville Barcelona by: Cadogan Books October 27, 2000 --A usually funny and differently slanted approach not found elsewhere. I found this not sufficient for basic touring. It is short on some how-to and on pictures to identify/remind you where you are. Still, its light weight, half-inch skininess allowed me to carry it for its better writing style, and seemingly deeper, readable content. >>See More Reviews & Details on Madrid Seville Barcelona |

.Zimbabwe, Botswana & Namibia by: Cadogan Books 1998-04 I haven't been to africa yet, so take this review with a grain of salt. I got it from the library and have found it to be quite informative. I also really enjoy the stories and fables in it. There is a watercolor guide to the animals you are likely (and not so likely) to see. Generally, my impression is that it is well written, though, perhaps written for someone with a larger budget than myself. I have yet to see if the info is up to date. Get this book. It has a lot to offer. >>See More Reviews & Details on Zimbabwe, Botswana & Namibia |
