.Brit Guide to Orlando 2008
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
by: Simon Veness, Susan Veness

October 31, 2007
This book is a great resource for things that many Brits will be unfamiliar with in the USA - tipping customs, WDW hotels, attractions outside of the major Disney/Universal/Seaworld parks, and it is definitely something I would recommend to the first timer - but in conjunction with other resources (books, websites).

My major gripe is that the touring advice isn't particularly good, and nowhere near as thorough as it could be. Not only that, but the attraction descriptions/reviews sound like something straight out of Disney rather than objective look from an outsider.

If it's your first time going, I would recommend this ALONG WITH The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, a visit to the DISboards (online) and WDWinfo ... Read More:

.The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World (Unofficial Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
by: Bob Sehlinger, Len Testa

August 31, 2007
This is the best guide book I have ever read. It is very comprehensive and helped us have the best possible trip to Disney World we could have had - and meant I didn't have to wait in too many queues. We did get a couple other books, but they weren't a patch on this one. This book reviews everything from hotels, restaurants (even the counter service) and rides. It also has "touring plans" which tell you the best way to navigate around the parks to avoid the crowds. Super!

BUY THIS BOOK!

We are planning a fly-drive trip to the USA and we have been looking for information/things to do in places.We initially looked at the Foders books but then stumbled across this book. What a fantastic informative book, the only problem with having this book is we need to book a longer holiday !!!
It is excellent value for money and a must have for fly-drive touring of the USA.

.The Rough Guide to New York City - Edition 10
City Travel Guides > Books > United States
by: Martin Dunford

January 25, 2007
I visited New York for the first time last Nov and I was given a mini rough guide to New York by a friend. I would have been lost without it.

It was a bible in my bag.

I am due to visit the big apple again in Jan and I decided to purchase the full rough guide to New York and I am not disappointed.

I have also order the mini rough guide to carry round New York when I get there.

The information contained within the book is well written and informative.

The maps at the back are a god's send and must not be under estimated in the overall picture and use of this product.

I would recommend this title to anyone wanting a comprehensive guide of New York.

I used the previous version of this guide for a six week trip through California, Vegas, Nevada, Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. I never have found a guidebook so useful. Anza-borrego National Park, Zion Nat. Park (Angels Landing), Valley of Fire State Park, Ventena wilderness. are all places that I'd never heard of before but visited because of this guidebook - All fantastic places.

Enough was covered on the Grand Canyon for me to arrange a camp site in the Canyon itself - no mean feat because of the demand.

Highly recommend this to anyone on a California, Nevada + Canyons trip

.New York City (Lonely Planet City Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > United States

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!

Just got back from New York and had bought prior to going. It was the single most important thing we carried everywhere with us in order to get around manhatten, not only is it detailed but has all the main tourist attractions labelled all in colour. it's nice and compact so you're not unfolding a huge map in the middle of the street every 5 minutes.on the back theres also a subway map to get which was a great bonus too! I totally reccomend buying this if you go to NYC for the first time best £3 i spent! great value for money.
