.Road Atlas France (AA Atlases) (AA Atlases)
City Travel Guides > Books > Countries A-Z
by: Automobile Association (Great Britain)

November 30, 2007
Only that it's good, has clear mapping and lots of detailed information. It has a ring binding, which I like as this enables you to keep the book open at the desired page without damaging it. It also has a complete index of towns and villages at the back, and each of the city centre maps has its own street index - very useful. Not to mention the small scale route planning map and the map of administrative departments. What more could you need? And it's just about small enough to fit in your glove compartment. So if it seems a little heavy, unwieldy and difficult to navigate at times, well, France is a lot bigger than England.

.1000 Things to Do in London (Time Out 1000 Things to Do in London)
City Travel Guides > Books > Countries A-Z
from: Time Out Group Ltd

May 03, 2007
I have lived in London a few years now, and I love being able to find the really interesting and off the wall things to do in this fab city. I bought this book for a friend, and then spent the next 2 days buried in it myself, and I started to write down ideas to take back to me. After 5 pages of my notes on the book, I decided it would be far simpler to get myself a copy!
it lists everything from places to eat, to museums you'cve probably never heard of, together with lots of free activities and it isn't expecially aimed at tourists which is refreshing. A really different take on London and I'm a big fan.

February 01, 2008
When you find yourself being directed towards motorways that do not exist in you book of maps then you know it is time to buy a new one! The AA Road Atlas does exactly what it says on the cover - super clear mapping. The town plans are useful too.

No excuse for ever getting lost in Spain again.

.Tunnels, Towers and Temples: London's 100 Strangest Places
City Travel Guides > Books > Countries A-Z
by: David Long

April 19, 2007
Sequels aren't meant to be as good as the original, are they, but having enjoyed David Long's SPECTACULAR VERNACULAR last year I had to have this one, and I'm not disappointed. Far from it. In fact for anyone bored with all those London books which just go over the same old ground again (Tower of London, yawn) these two books have been a revelation to me. Packed full of places and buildings most of us don't even notice, and with every one photographed and explored by an author with a real talent for the subject, they're original, funny, and above all fascinating in terms of the detail, the history and the personalities they describe and which together make London what it is today.

.Caravan and Camping Britain (AA Lifestyle Guides) (AA Lifestyle Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Countries A-Z
by: AA Publishing

January 31, 2008
Camping is a somewhat re-visited activity and, over the years, I'm used to 'AA' books, which are, generally, reliable and offer a list of places to troll through, so I grabbed the book off the shelf without really looking at it! Fool that I am.


Now, this is a book, right?... and you are meant to be able to read it easily, right?... OK, yes I wear 'readers' but the print is still somewhat small and the font could have been better, but my gripe is with the symbols for what each site offers...they are truly small and difficult to distinguish, especially in low light. The symbols are the key and worth a thousand words, so should be crystal! AND...what about dogs?...OK it has a symbol for 'dog exercise area', so one assumes dogs ... Read More:

.Andalucia (Michelin Regional Maps)
City Travel Guides > Books > Countries A-Z
from: Michelin Maps

2003-04
This is a BIG fold-down map - ain't it always the way, all the 'key' places/roads/etc., are on the folds!

Seriously, the BIG format is un-useful if you're driving long distance. It's a PAIN to keep stopping and re-folding - buy a book.

.A Walk in the Woods

by: Bill Bryson

July 01, 1998
I'm not a big reader and had never before read a Bill Bryson book but was bought this for Christmas by my parents. I took it with me on holiday as essential beach reading and as soon as I started it, found it VERY hard to put down.

Bryson's writing style is easy to read and extremely entertaining whilest being factual and informative.

I have now started to read his 'Down Under' book and am quick becoming a big Bill Bryson fan!
