.Brazil (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Regis St. Louis

January 01, 2008
This book is very predictable - formula-written. Like it is by a committee not a person.

LP's great when you first start traveling. But now I want more information about the places that locals go to and the more unusual locations, hotels and restaurants.

With this book you know you are always with the crowd whether you want it or not.

And the cultural information is very thin and unimaginative. The only thing that is really good are the maps and the great binding.

.New York City (Lonely Planet City Guides)

by: Ginger Otis, Beth Greenfield, Regis St. Louis, Robert Reid

September 01, 2008
found it much more useful then the time out NYC guidebook. Went to a couple of suggested bars which were fun. the pull out map is particularly useful.
However, NYC is a city you want to get lost in so don't get the guidebook out too often!

.Russia and Belarus (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Patrick Horton, Steve Kokker, John Noble, Louis Regis, Mark Elliott, Mara Vorhees, Simon Richmond

March 01, 2006
The three reviews below refer to the old edition of this book. The new version has been entirely rewritten and re-researched. As part of the team who helped write it I should leave the reviews to other people, but I think the criticism of not including Ukraine is quite unfair given that the book never claims to do so!

.Estonia Latvia and Lithuania (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Nicola Williams, Becca Blond, Regis St. Louis

June 01, 2006
If you buy just one book for your Baltic trip, this is the one. It is well-written, chock full of practical information and historic background to make the most of your travels. There's no worry if you don't know the language or how to catch the bus in Tallinn; it helps you do it yourself.

The one minor irritation is that there was no reference to TrekBaltics, an Estonian adventure travel company that we found on our own. That was a great find.

All in all -- a terrific book, and the most updated one available today.

.Tallinn (Lonely Planet Best of ...)

by: Regis St. Louis

June 01, 2006
VERY light on detailed information.The maps are very basic,not listing all street names and no street index.The self guideing walking tour highlights the main sights in the Old Town,but better tours can be found in other guide books.On the up side the cafe/restaurant section do`s note which places serve veggie meals.
I would reconmend the inyourpocket guide to Tallinn,which can be often obtained for free,this has far more information and is usually updated every 3 months.
