.Belgium and Luxembourg (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Gert Cole, Leanne Logan

June 01, 2007
As much as I am faithul to Lonely Planet guidebooks, I was shocked by reading their edition of Belgium & Luxembourg. Not only did we have to wait 2004 to have a LP guidebook for those 2 countries (which must be after about all other regions in the world, even Antarctica, Papua New Guinea and tiny tropical islands), but it's not even half satisfying.

They should have kept the previous title "Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp", as there is frankly not much about the rest of the country. For instance, Belgium has some 3000 castles, but for some reason only 2 (yes, a miserable 2 !) are listed in the Lonely Planet. Same sparsity for the abbeys. Then, the book is heavily centered on Brussels and Flanders, as if the author didn't know more ... Read More:

.Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp (Lonely Planet City Guides)

by: Leanne Logan, Geert Cole

November 30, 1999
This guide, as with all Lonely Planet Guides I've read, details simply all the information you require in order to maximise the pleasure of your stay, in this case within Flander's main cities.

Each page contains a wealth of (always relevant) info on Eating, Drinking, Shopping, Art, Music, Accomodation, Local Eccentricities, Travel Practicalities, Accurate Maps and much more besides.

In 6 days in Bruges it never left my side; I reckon it saved me it's cover value EACH DAY. In addition I would probably have missed maybe 30% of 'attractions' without it.

More than recommended, its indispensible, even if you visit only one of the three included cities.

.Lonely Planet Egypt: A Travel Survival Kit (Lonely Planet Egypt)

by: Leanne Logan, Geert Cole, Damien Simonis, Scott Wayne

1996-11
We've just come back from honeymoon and used this book when we visited Cairo and particularly the incredible museum... the descriptions are spot on and the book guides you thru' room by room. Our tour guide was saying practically the same things as the book, so its all you need!

Dress codes for women in Cairo aren't as strict as the book makes it out to be, there were loads of girls with string tops and shorts, so long skirts and long sleeved shirts aren't necessarily a must!! Other than that, pretty accurate about local customs and traditions.
