.Cyprus (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Vesna Maric

June 01, 2006
Before I bought this book there were loads of other customer reviews (don't know why there are none today) with varied opinions - quite a few negative ones, so I ended up buying the Eyewitness Travel guide and the AA spiral guide instead. Whilst the Eyewitness book is lovely to look at having so many colour photos and th AA book is a handy size, I have to say that I ended up buying the Lonely Planet guide as well as it has far more detailed information about the island eg history, costs, restaurants, just everything really. It is written by someone who has tried and tested all that the island has to offer and its detailed reviews entice you to go and try for yourself. It really is a far more superior guide, though admittedly not so attractive ... Read More:

.Madeira (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Christopher Catling

January 25, 2007
I went to Madeira for 3 days and took this guide and I'm glad I did it. It focus more on Funchal but with so litle time its ideal to plane the days and not waste one second of time.

It also makes a great quick reference to the hit points like top 10 local dishes, top 10 gardens, top 10 beaches, top 10 warnings etc.

It has great info about all the best places and I found the bus information the most usefull for people like me, who wanted to save money but enjoy the trip at the same time. It has lots of pictures of what to expect, usefull information about the island, info on prices, small maps and the best locations and monuments: the very best top 10 of places you just have to visit while in Madeira, places like The Catedral ...

.Prague (Lonely Planet City Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Neil Wilson

January 01, 2007
I have mixed feelings about this guide.

In terms of practicality, it's small and not too heavy for carrying around - but is still bigger than many other city guides available. The maps are quite useful although their scale can make a short walk look like a ten mile hike! The maps are also all located at the back and there are no maps integrated into the text, apart from one of the castle. This made it awkward as you needed to flick back and forth. Close ups of the most famous and crowded areas, like the Old Town Square, would have been useful.

Despite being published in 2007, there are some inaccuracies and the selection of shops, hotels etc. mentioned seems to miss out many of the more recent developments. It also often ... Read More:

.Great Britain (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: David Else

May 01, 2007
This is a large book- over 1000 pages, and it aims to be a single, comprehensive guide to Britain. It begins with a section on travel advice such as tips about safety, information about currency and safety and information about travelling to Britain and within Britain. Basically, information for before you travel. But I would question the appeal of this kind of printed material. All this information can be found out quite easily online, and online sources are naturally much more up to date.

In the intro, and throughout the book, they make remarkable generalisations. "English pubs general..." " The British public usually..." I hope people don't take this too seriously!

Also this book is not re-written, it is simply updated. As ... Read More:

.C'est La Folie

I chose this book along with several others about France having just bought a place in the South. What a lovely light hearted read. I laughed out loud on several occasions and will never look at a Renault Espace again without thinking about those naughty rams! I also found the book very informative. I'd recommend it.

.Northern Spain (Eyewitness Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd

February 01, 2007
I purchased this book because my son is moving to Northern Spain to live for a year or so. It is packed with useful information about everything you need to know. I am reading up on places to visit and things to see. It also has lots of interesting information about food and wine. Well worth the money. I'll report back in a couple of months time when I've visited the area. I think I'll get a lot of use from this book in the coming year.
