.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!

.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.

.South India (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Paul Harding, Patrick Horton, Amy Karafin, Simon Richmond

September 01, 2005
I'd bought my flight tickets, travel insurance and the all important Visa for entering India. Next on the list was the guide book. It was a choice of this one or the Rough Guide.

Both were published around the same time, and I've used both before for different countries, so I'm happy with their layout and content. However, choosing the right guide this time seemed far more difficult.

Both contained detailed information about the places I plan to visit. However, I found some bits were present in one book, but not the other, and vice-versa. In the end I decided to go for both books. I'm travelling in South India for 3 months, so I thought it would be worth the luxury of having two guides.

.Eastern Europe (Lonely Planet Regional Guides)

by: Lisa Dunford, Mark Elliott, Patrick Horton

February 01, 2005
Having just spent 3 weeks in Romania, Macedonia & Albania - this guide was a true travel companion.

Having used the 2005 version of this guide to travel around Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Croatia in March 2006 - this one was much more useful and the writers had gone to great pains to make everything accurate (unlike their Western Balkans guide which was awash with misinformation and inaccuracies, normally regarding telephone numbers etc)

Having also brought the Bradt Albania guide with us (thank god we never relied on this as their pricing information for accommodation was grossly out of date & there was a real laziness in updating vital information) the Lonely Planet was the one that got grubbiest from continual ... Read More:

.Delhi (Lonely Planet Regional Guides)

by: Hugh Finlay

September 01, 2002
This lonely planet is quite disappointing especially if you compare it to the usual lonely planet standard. Information is not structured in an easy to find way and important information is missing. After being in Delhi for 3 weeks, I have abandoned the lonely planet and mainly use other guidebooks.

.Web Style Guide: Basic Design Principles for Creating Web Sites

by: Patrick J. Lynch, Sarah Horton

February 10, 1999
One of the most thorough books on Web design. Written in a clear manner and illustrated with examples. Solid, timeless principles that underpin best practice web design. Ideal for beginners and intermediate level. Much more solid information than some of the other highly rated authors in the field. In fact, without actually mentioning any names,I found some of them were rather disappointing - either too simplistic or too obtuse and lacking in examples. And much less value for money! The Web Style Guide could do with a 3rd edition, but this does not detract from its inherent value.
