.The Rough Guide to New Zealand (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

by: Laura Harper, Anthony Stephen Mudd, Paul Whitfield

September 28, 2006
This book was invaluable during my travel around the islands. I thoroughly recommend it. The advice on hostels and hotels was spot on and became my bible for deciding where to visit and what to do. I also heard from others I met travelling that they rate it over other similar guide books as they are more `frank' about their advice on the standards of places to stay.

.Tip-top Fish and Chip Shops: England's Top 100 Fish and Chip Shops (Tip-top Guides)

by: Anthony Stephen Mudd

February 03, 2003
I bought this book for relatives who are about to buy their first Fish and Chip shop and have been looking around to find the "winning formula". Its perfect for them as topics such as different batters and fish varieties as discussed. However it's also a handy guide for any lovers of this traditional take away meal, especially if you also travel and prefer to only stop off at the best around the country.

.The Rough Guide to New Zealand

by: Laura Harper, Anthony Stephen Mudd, Paul Whitfield

May 10, 2000
This book is fantastic. I have just come back from travelling for a year which 3 months of it i spent in New Zealand. It has been the most wonderful experience but New Zealand is by far the best place on earth.
The book was consistantly accurate and never let me down once. The recommendations for restaraunts, bar's, clubs, shops, public transport etc etc are fantastic. Not once did we find a bar that had been closed for years or a shop that was selling something completley different to what it said in the book. By using the book alone, we managed to travel our way from the very top of the north island to the bottom of the south island. We also managed to get some discounts in some hotels because they had been recommeneded in the Rough Guide.

.The Rough Guide to New Zealand - 4th Edition

by: Laura Harper, Anthony Stephen Mudd, Paul Whitfield

September 30, 2004
This is an invaluable and most importantly accurate resource when visiting NZ. I agonised over which "Guide" to take as there are so many good ones out there. My choice was vindicated. The descriptions of the places to visit are uncomplicated and human, avoiding jargon and lazy cliches. The list of eateries and pubs was particularly good and almost without exception never failed to please.

I take on board what the other reviewer said about the size of the manual but the author is put in an extremely diffkcult position when balancing a full authorititative guide against space and portability. I think they have got it about right as it is packed full of all the essential including lots of maps as well as a good background info on everywhere ... Read More:
