.Ireland (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Fionn Davenport, et al

January 01, 2008
Just returned from touring southern Ireland and I found the Lonely Planet guide priceless as it gives great detail for all the attractions in Ireland. I would have missed a number of must see attractions without this book! Another guide which was much dearer (and shall remain nameless)was very poor in comparison.

.Dublin (Lonely Planet City Guides)

from: Lonely Planet Publications

April 01, 2008
We found the LP guide to Dublin to be as accurate and informative as all the others we've used.

Information is presented in a very easy to follow format. Recommendations are to be relied upon. We tried a Lebanese restaurant in the book and had a truly delicious meal. We booked a lodge on LP recommendation and it was exactly as described in the book. We did a walking tour in the book and it was brilliant.

I don't think I could actually do a sightseeing holiday now without LP as a companion. I'd feel lost without one.

.Sicily (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

from: Lonely Planet Publications

September 30, 2002
I've just returned from 5 days in Sicily, where I visited Erice, Agrigento and Palermo and some other parts of the west coast.

For these areas, I found the book very useful and informative, in particular the Palermo section. As usual it was set out well and was easily to use. I imagine the other sections are just as useful.

The only thing it didn't mention was that while it might be the best beach in Sicily, the rocks behind are yielded some of our major break throughs in understanding climate change!

I would reccomend this book and prefer the layout to the rough guides I have used for other places in the past

.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 updated. ... Read More:
