.Sweden (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: Becky Ohlsen, Fran Parnell April 01, 2006 The Lonely Planet series has been excellent for other holidays I have made (such as Finland, Austria, Venice) so I took time to read the current (3rd) edition months in advance of a short holiday in Sweden, and studied some parts very closely. The early chapters are very upbeat - the authors are clearly thrilled by Sweden and are keen to share their enthusiasm. The history pages were well balanced and gave sufficient background to enable understanding of Sweden's present. I have qualms with the up-to-datedness of some details which I relied on (having found out the hard way with disappointed children in tow): the examples I am thinking of is the non-existent Ice Gallery at Osterlanggatan 41 (page 74) (it has been a clothes shop ...

.Great Britain (Lonely Planet Country Guide) by: David Else, Oliver Berry, Nicky Crowther, Fionn Davenport, Martin Hughes, Sam Martin, Etain O'Carroll, Becky Ohlsen, Andy Symington May 01, 2005 This is a large book- over 1000 pages, and it aims to be a single, comprehensive guide to Britain. It begins with a section on travel advice such as tips about safety, information about currency and safety and information about travelling to Britain and within Britain. Basically, information for before you travel. But I would question the appeal of this kind of printed material. All this information can be found out quite easily online, and online sources are naturally much more up to date. In the intro, and throughout the book, they make remarkable generalisations. "English pubs general..." " The British public usually..." I hope people don't take this too seriously! Also this book is not re-written, it is simply ...

.Walking in Britain (Lonely Planet Walking Guides) by: Sandra Bardwell, B. Nixon, P. Dragicevich, David Else, Des Hannigan, Becky Ohlsen, S. Richmond April 01, 2007 I bought this book hoping to get a general guide to the different walking areas in Britain. The approach the book takes is to describe a small number of walks in each area as a sort of taster, with a couple of paragraphs of description of the area at the beginning. Details such as further reading (always useful), transport and accommodation are also included for each walk/area. While this serves the purpose reasonably well, I would have preferred a more detailed description of the area, and could easily have done without any route descriptions, of which there is no shortage at all in other books! It would also be useful to have included with the more detailed maps something showing where in Britain/the region it was referring to. This came ...

.Stockholm (Lonely Planet City Guide) by: Becky Ohlsen August 01, 2004 I bought this book before a recent trip to Stockholm. It covered everything I needed including all the usual things you'd expect in a travel guide, all written in a very engaging style by someone who obviously knows and loves the city. What I found particularly helpful was the guide to eating out and shopping on different price levels. It is a very expensive place to visit, so it was useful to know cheaper options existed! >>See More Reviews & Details on Stockholm (Lonely Planet City Guide) |
