.Latin American Spanish Phrasebook
City Travel Guides > Books > Guidebook Series
from: Lonely Planet

October 15, 2003
I originally picked up the 3rd edition some time ago, and found it to be a wonderful reference. The layout was easy to follow, and the dictionary had most of the words that I would use in brief conversations. The grammar section also helped me pick up the lttle differences that seperated Spanish form Portuguese. Because it was so pratical and user friendly I decided to pick up a set of these books for a brief Spanish course I was going to teach. Unfortunately the 4th edition almost entirely left out any talk on grammar. While not much of an issue if the book is used exclusively as a phrasebook, it is extremely limiting in what this book can teach you. Lists of common verbs are absent. List of conjugations are also absent. Unbelievable! ... Read More:

.Lonely Planet Vietnam
City Travel Guides > Books > Guidebook Series
by: Nick Ray, Peter Dragicevich, Regis St Louis

August 15, 2007
This was an essential book to carry for a backpacking trip to Vietnam. The details were surprising still up to date, and generally the prices listed for places to stay and tours were accurate. Vietnam has become quite slick for travellers, so it's possible to travel without a book if you are short on space, but it was definitely nice to have a reference when talking to the "touts." Unfortunately, every traveller and their dog also uses this book, so late arrivals may mean difficulty finding a place to stay. In retrospect, there are really great online travel guides for SouthEast Asia that offer many more options for accomadation and I would highly recommend checking those out instead if looking for a bed! Otherwise, this book is complete and ... Read More:
