.South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Mary Fitzpatrick, Kate Armstrong, Becca Blond, Michael Kohn, Simon Richmond, Alistair Simmonds

November 01, 2006
I am surprised at the negative feedback here. As a consistent user of Lonely Planet guides, I have to say that this ranked as one of the more useful country guides i have come across. Writing guidebooks must be a very tricky business - it is necessary to include such a vast quantity of information, while trying simultaneously to capture the feel and mood of a country in such a way that people know what to expect back home. This particular guide does an excellent job in this respect.

I spent one month travelling from Pretoria to Cape Town, taking a winding route through Swaziland and Lesotho. I had no schedule and went where I wanted when I wanted. And perhaps it is for this kind of travelling that this guide is most suitable - it ... Read More:

.Southern Africa (Lonely Planet Multi Country Guide)

by: Alan Murphy, Kate Armstrong, Matthew D Firestone, Mary Fitzpatrick, Michael Grosberg, Nana Luckham, Andy Rebold

March 01, 2007
This book is truly great. The information on inter-country travelling is superb - not given in as much detail in any other book I've found. There are so many maps that have been kept despite the serious editing that has made the book so relatively small. Accommodation descriptions and prices always accurate, and so good on local transport. A great book for the budget traveller!

.Bolivia (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Kate Armstrong

April 01, 2007
This guide is really disappointing. It's not updated at all, it's badly written with slang expressions and silly jokes. It came out just 6 months ago and it contains so many errors about places, hotels, restaurants. The worst thing has been going to really nice hotels or good restaurants that were completely empty because this book said they are worn, with slow service, too expensive etc...Most maps are incorrect and one place is described as a " sleepy village" whereas it is a region of 5-6 villages!!All the travellers I've met along the way complained about it!

.Greece (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Paul Hellander, Kate Armstrong, Michael Clark, Des Hannigan, Victoria Kyriakopoulos, Miriam Raphael, Andrew Stone

March 01, 2006
I have visited quite a few Greek islands and found this book extremely useful. I recently went to the Cyclades and the detail was excellent, however if you're going to Syros/Myknonos area I'd also pack Nobble Hospital of the Aegean by Paul Judges which offers some fascinating insights.
