."Time Out" Cheap Eats in London (Time Out Cheap Eats in London)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
from: Time Out Group Ltd

February 01, 2007
Haha, it really is incredible - I never thought I'd find some of the best places to eat for less than a fortune in such a small book like that, but apparently I did. It is ridiculously easy to find the kind of place you want to eat (cheapest, closest to you, a certain cuisine etc), and the reviews consist of opening/closing hours, special menus, the highlights of the place, and critique on the food, service and location. It's incredible how accurate they are :) Definitely worth the buy.

.Dublin (Lonely Planet City Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
from: Lonely Planet Publications

April 01, 2008
We found the LP guide to Dublin to be as accurate and informative as all the others we've used.

Information is presented in a very easy to follow format. Recommendations are to be relied upon. We tried a Lebanese restaurant in the book and had a truly delicious meal. We booked a lodge on LP recommendation and it was exactly as described in the book. We did a walking tour in the book and it was brilliant.

I don't think I could actually do a sightseeing holiday now without LP as a companion. I'd feel lost without one.

.Paris (Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Mike Gerrard, Donna Dailey

February 01, 2008
I bought this book just before visiting Paris in April. It was very informative, containing just the right amount of information. It is a great size as it is light enough and small enough so you don't mind carrying it around with you (some of guides I have bought in the past have been so heavy!) My group stuck to the top ten things to see as we were only there for a couple of days. It was ideal! It has a few maps and underground map too which were very helpful.

.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. ... Read More:

.The Northumberland Coast
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Joe Cornish

May 08, 2008
Those familiar with his work won't be in for any surprises here.
It's good stuff but, maybe because the subject matter isn't always as dramatic, not as inspiring as Scotland's Coast: A Photographer's Journey or his first book First Light: A Landscape Photographer's Art.
In summary - very good but if you don't have the others, get them first.

.Valencia (Lonely Planet Best of ...)
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Miles Roddis

May 01, 2006
This book is excellent. We used it for a weekend, found a great hotel, loads to do during the day with a great range of restauraunts and bars for the evenings. The best bit is the map on the inside cover, where all the recommended places are marked - so you don't spend ages working out where everything is!

.Guerra
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Jason Webster

July 02, 2007
Jason Webster picks topics/aspects that are typical of Spain but has a superb talent for being able to offer a completely fresh and interesting perspective of them. In "Guerra" [the Spanish word for "war"] he sets off around Spain in search of traces and effects of the Spanish Civil War on and in the country today, giving a simple and interesting account of what is actually a very complex event and issue in Spanish history. This account is accompanied by descriptions of some of his darker experiences during the journey, of some of the interesting and helpful characters, and of some of the nastier, unhelpful ones he meets along the way. But for all the darkness, Webster leaves the reader feeling hopeful and optimistic in the final chapter, "Perpignan", - I won't spoil ... Read More:
