.Ethiopia and Eritrea (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Matt Phillips, Jean-Bernard Carillet

November 01, 2006
This book's a reasonable guide, but is eclipsed by the brilliantly written and hugely informative Bradt Guide. We took both books to Ethiopia (09/2006) and found the Bradt one to be far superior.

.West Africa (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Anthony Ham, James Bainbridge, Tim Bewer, Jean-Bernard Carillet, Paul Clammer, Michael Grosberg, Robert Landon, Katharina Lobeck, Matt Phillips

October 01, 2006
As usual the lonely planet West Africa is full of details, which enable a traveller to travel around West Africa, ranging from the best hotels in small towns to bus schedules. From the fertile coast to the sandy deserts it provides a good but brief overview of the nature, history and present sights. The only weak point is the limited amount of information on regional cultural differences or history, which is probably caused by the number of countries covered

.India (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Sarina Singh, Joe Bindloss, Paul Clammer, Janine Eberle, Paul Harding, Abigail Hole, Patrick Horton, Amy Karafin, Matt Phillips, Simon Richmond

and the best guide I've come across for India. Packed with detail and a reasonable cultural/ historical introduction. Maps are great, the timetables are pretty accurate, the opening times and prices are correct...

There are some very bad LP guides out there. Vietnam springs to mind. But LP India has been consistently good throughout the years. I think I've used 4 versions of the guidebook and have been pleased with the improvements everytime.

Obviously the negativities are that it is pretty big but how else are you supposed to cram in all that information.

.Mediterranean Europe (Lonely Planet Multi Country Guide)

by: Duncan Garwood, Joe Bindloss, Anthony Ham, Matt Phillips

February 01, 2007
A comprehensive guide yet again from Lonely Planet which includes all the essential information for a holiday in Mediterranean Europe. Sadly it doesn't cover Bosnia Herzegovina (despite the map on the back cover suggesting it does) but all in all the information is as much as you could hope for - accommodation, and the basic attractions in all the countries, as well as suggested itineraries.

This book only sets out to provide a basis for those travelling around the region, although it provides sufficient detail for those spending a while in any of the countries covered. It is a book to be supplemented if you are spending a long time in any of the countries, although once in country it's easy enough to pick up the necessary information ... Read More:
