.New Zealand (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Carolyn Bain, George Dunford, Korina Miller, Sally O'Brien, Charles Rawlings-Way

September 01, 2006
Lonely Planet is in general known for not updating their books much and the kiwi version is tragic.
I got it when it was just 'updated' and none of the prices, the hostels and the attractions were updated. Half the placed had closed, had doubled in price or were in fact a completely different attraction, than what it says.
Going to NZ you don't need a travelguide. Buy a car (don't pay more than NZ$2500 for a old van) and just go. There are not many roads, you can't get lost.
Attractions are easy to review at local i-sites and they provide correct information.
Have a great trip!

.Southeast Asia on a Shoestring (Lonely Planet Shoestring Guides)

by: China Williams, George Dunford, Simone Egger, Tasmin Waby, Matt Phillips, Nick Ray, Robert Reid, Paul Smitz, Matt Warren, Sarah Wintle, Rafael Wlodarski, Wendy Yanagihara

March 01, 2006
Lonely Planet - great for maps and local transport but thats about all! As any experienced traveller will tell you, the minute any restaurant, cafe or hotel gets it name in LP then its prices will double and the standards will half!
I also agree with some of the other comments here, why do they try so hard to be cool and why do they tell us what we should and shouldnt do?
An OK book but now and then leave it in your backpack and be adventurous.
