.Sardinia (Cadogan Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Cadogan Guides
by: Dana Facaros, Michael Pauls

May 01, 2004
This book crosses the line between guide book and tourist brochure. Its gushy text, whilst enthusiastic, is of little practical value. This guide could be useful if you are on a package tour and want to get a feel for the island. If you are planning your own trip, this book might be a useful adjunct to another guide.

.A Rambling Fancy: In the Footsteps of Jane Austen (Cadogan Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Cadogan Guides
by: Caroline Sanderson

September 29, 2006
In this masterly 'detective' story, Caroline Sanderson has risen above the missing Austen letters and also the sadly abused buildings that Jane would have known but would not recognise today. She reveals Jane Austen to be a perky, humorous and percipient woman,very much of her time. A fascinating read.

.Bay of Naples and Southern Italy (Cadogan Guides)

The Cadagon guides to Italy have always served me well, and when I set out on my travels clutching a copy of BAY OF NAPLES AND SOUTHERN ITALY in my sticky paw, I thought I was in good hands. I shall give the book its due by saying that the Bay of Naples information was OK. But alas, whoever researched Calabria, Basilicata and Puglia did it very sketchily indeed. There was far too little information on show-stoppers such as the Sila, Matera, Lecce, Ostuni and Trani, and some of the information was downright wrong. My companion, a lecturer from the University of Catania, couldn't believe how hopeless the information was.
I do hope that Cadogan will revise the guide. The toe and heel of Italy deserve a lot more attention. And the Riace Bronzes ... Read More:

.Italy ("Sunday Times" Working & Living)
City Travel Guides > Books > Cadogan Guides
by: Kate Carlisle

September 27, 2007
A guide to working and living in Italy is a useful book for many people so this title would be a welcome addition to the many similar guides already on the market - if only it contained some correct information. Reading through the chapters, I was struck by how often the author seems to make up "facts" without bothering to check. Just to take two examples from one of the more general chapters, that on the Italian language
- The author claims that Italian isn't an official language in any other country in the world. The population in neighbouring Switzerland will be surprised to hear it, as Italian definitely IS an official language of the country.
- Even stranger is the author's claim that the North Italian dialects are Celtic!! Celtic, ... Read More:

.Paris and Disneyland Resort Paris (Take the Kids)

If it is Disneyland info you want then this book may be for you, but if you don't plan to go to Disneyland then I would not reccomend this book.
I recently bought this book for a week end in Paris with my husband and two children ( aged 5 and 7). As we had limited time we were keen to use a guide book for suggestions and directions for appropriate things to see and do with children.
I found the suggestions to be unspecific and directions poor.
It doesn't offer anymore than any other guide book and common sense as a parent. It was a waste of money and the time we spent following the suggestions and directions given in the book we would have been much better off just getting lost !

.England (Cadogan Guides)

As someone who loves to travel the world, I never realised how much England had to offer. I bought this book on a whim to see how to kill time in Bath on a business trip. I never realised it would make me visit Cambridge, Worcester, Stratford and York as well. Until I found this book, I would look forward to a trip to Europe once ever 6-8 weeks, now I know I can have 1 or 2 trips to exotic, historic jewels in England between and wonder why I went to Europe in the first place. Thank you Mr. Macdonald for opening my eyes to my own heritage.
