.Buenos Aires (Lonely Planet City Guide)

by: Sandra Bao, et al

August 01, 2008
This book aims to give a view of Buenos Aires which really sells it short. Focussing only on the frantic, hectic, all night long, young, super cool, flashy and utterly shallow aspects of the city. If you're very young and you only travel so you can always feel like you're in a disco in Ibiza, buy it. If you want some alternative insight into a fascinating, scruffy, historic, genteel, polite, beautiful and occasionally savage city, ignore most of its breathless attempts and try another one.

.Australia and New Zealand on a Shoestring (Lonely Planet Shoestring Guides)

by: Susie Ashworth, Sandra Bao, Peter Cruttenden

April 01, 2005
I'm planning a trip to both Australia and New Zealnd, and this was the only book I could find that had them both in the same book - saves all that extra weight in the luggage. It's a good, comprehensive guide listing most of the popular travel destinations as well as some off the beaten track. There are plenty of maps - especially of the major cities, with close up maps of key areas within the cities.

The book has guides for each place: eating, drinking, sleeping, sightseeing,how to get there, how to get around etc. It's got a lot of web addresses so you can do further research if you need to.

The book is aimed at people travelling on the cheap so is full of useful advice and tips. I thought this guide was an excellent buy.

.Australia (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

This book is the de-facto book.
I travelled Oz and Tas on it, as do most other travellers.

If you want a guide book, go get one, this will tell you everything in a concise way - as this is what a traveller needs.

There are many other books out there, rough guides etc, but trust me everyone who is anyone uses lonly planet. They are far from perfect, but it has everything u need in it, prices, phone numbers, how to get around, itineries etc. For the reviwer who said it doesnt have iteneries, did most definatly does - near beginning. but you do have to cross reference each point to other points in the book, there isnt space to repeat stuff!!

You would do well getting this book way before travelling, and planning it using ... Read More:

.South America on a Shoestring (Lonely Planet Shoestring Guides)

by: Sandra Bao, Charlotte Beech, Krzysztof Dydynski

March 01, 2004
Whilst travelling through Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Paragruay and Brazil, I quickly realised that this book was not going to be much help 'in the field'. It is in urgent need of up dating; many of the hostels and hotels mentioned have either closed, renamed or vanished off the face of the earth. I used this guide to plan my trip, but upon arrival it did little more than fill up space in my rucksack. The maps are quite useful...to a point. Most of the restaurants, hostels etc are not in the right place on the map (which i found out to my cost when lugging my rucksack around Ascunsion). However, the layout is accurate and helps to orientate yourself around cities.
The information regarding major tourist attractions is useful also.
