Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Consistenly Lonely Planet quality but not quantity. I haven't had a problem with the accuracy and the usefulness of the information in this Lonely Planet guide to England. I have no complaints there. The prices and the opening times are right. The recommendations insightful and the options presented (more or less) clearly. My only complaint is that the depth of information is quite limited and the maps don't often cover more than the very city town centre of most locations. I can understand that the book can only be so big but really, who wants to carry around a chapter of England's history when you travel and then resort to a series of additional maps and guide information. If you're going to carry this great hunking book when you travel, take it to read as well as as your guide ... Read More: Rating:  - Amusing and informative guide to EnglandThis chunky guide is an well-structured guide to the main tourist areas of England. There are plenty of amusing illustrations and insights into quirky areas of our island's cultural life. On a practical level I have could have done with more photos and maps, but the info on places such as Oxford and Cambridge was more than enough to provide a enjoyable visit for day-trippers Rating: - Too big a coutry, too small a bookWhile England is quite small there is an awfull lot packed into it. The same cannot be said of this book. Many areas of the country are very short on detail. I think that a visitor may find it useful as long as they realise that they will also be missing a lot if they only use this book. There seems to be a lot of detail on just London while counties such as Norfolk have very little information. As with most Lonely Planet books it is good to have but it would be better to seek more information on the spot. |
