.New York City (Access Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Access from: HarperCollins,Australia July 31, 1996 I have used this book for a number of years now, always purchasing a new edition every couple of years because the landscape changes. It is really a fantastically easy guide to NYC and is ideal for the first time visitor as it takes you from street to street and district to district pointing out the must see's along the way. I wouldn't travel without it >>See More Reviews & Details on New York City (Access Guides) |

.Paris (Access Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Access by: Richard Saul Wurman May 25, 2000 This is the book my wife and I always (and still) carry around with us when strolling in Paris (discreetly tucked into an overcoat pocket, of course). I think the best way to use it is to skim it repeatedly before going, and hi-liting or placing post-its on places that sound worth visiting. Then, once at the given locale, Access tells you what else is interesting in that neighborhood. I've heard criticisms of this book to the effect that it doesn't categorize restaurants, hotels, and the like. It isn't that type of guide. What it does best is truly point out the best of each neighborhood, and provide historical background as well. One other note: previous editions have far better maps than the newest edition. ...

.London (Access Guides) City Travel Guides > Books > Access by: Richard Saul Wurman September 26, 1996 Though this series embodies a clever concept, both the current edition (the 9th) and the previous three (and perhaps others) contain many inaccuracies, especially the inclusion of places that have changed dramatically or that are simply no longer there. While the format is convenient for having at hand while walking around the city, I cannot recommend using this book for planning. Moreover, the concept and presentation around which this series is based has been significantly improved upon by the DK-Publishing Eyewitness Travel Guides series. If you intend to walk around London and want an accurate guide that orients you and points out the essential and interesting sites, the Eyewitness Travel Guides series is a much better bet.
