.Lonely Planet East Africa
City Travel Guides > Books > Guidebook Series
by: Mary Fitzpatrick, Nick Ray, Tom Parkinson

June 15, 2006
I am a solo female traveler who has just spent three months in East Africa. Every traveler I met had this guide. I agree that it is the 'bible' of east africa. Travelling to this area you don't have much of a choice of travel guides and this gives good information on all the little villages, how to get around, how to survive a matatu.... all the visa infomation, cultural information.... everything you need to have an awesome trip.

I also recommend getting the Trekking East Africa guide if you plan on doing any trekking. It goes more in depth then just the East Africa guide and if you find yourself on a mountain you will want a detailed map, which the East Africa guide lacks.

.Lonely Planet Amsterdam City Guide with Map
City Travel Guides > Books > Guidebook Series
by: Jeremy Gray

January 15, 2008
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:

.Rick Steves' Europe 101: History and Art for the Traveler
City Travel Guides > Books > Guidebook Series
by: Rick Steves

May 15, 2007
Rick Steves provides excellent advice in his travel books. Unfortunately, the history and economics presented in this book leave much to be desired.

Time does not permit a detailed description of this book's errors and misleading information. The best example of its faulty history is in an essay in the back entitled "Whose Story Is History?" Its general thesis is that everything wrong with the world is the fault of colonization by Europe and America. The West is held to a standard of perfection no society can be expected to meet while third world nations have no responsibility for their situation.

An example of a serious historical omission is the book's discussion of Spain's conquest of Mexico. While Cortez was ruthless ... Read More:
