.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!

.The Rough Guide to the Dordogne and the Lot (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

by: Jan Dodd, Nana Luckham

April 26, 2007
I am really pleased with this book which seems to be up to date and accurate. I had lost faith in travel guides having bought one from a different publisher for Bulgaria last year.Some listed hotels had been closed for years and some built years ago were not even listed although the book was a new edition. I have never been to Dordogne before and need accuracy. All websites mentioned in the book seem to exist (at least the 20 which I have tried.) Details of bike and kayak hire are given and those I contacted responded. I feel that I know the Dordogne so well that I don't actually need to go there in person! My wife and I will make this the first item we place in our luggage for our visit.

.Algeria (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Anthony Ham, Anthony Sattin, Nana Luckham

August 01, 2007
I am planning a trip to Algeria in the next few months and was pleased to see that Lonely planet had at last produced a comprehensive guide to the country. For me it is concise and very readable but better than that I gave it to my Algerian boyfriend who read it from cover to cover. He confirms that the books is interesting and accurate.

The book covers not only tourist trails but the history of the country including the tragic war with France, the food and art. This is the essential book for travel to this part of the world - indeed I believe it is the only book.
