.I Never Knew That About England
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Christopher Winn

April 07, 2005
Just got this as a Christmas present for someone, and looking through, it makes a very interesting read, with lots of unusual and entertaining nuggets of information and facts. The illustrations are good too.

However I was a bit disappointed to find 3 mistakes in the space of as many pages when I looked at my own local area (Suffolk), which could have been corrected by anyone with Google and an extra 30 seconds to check each one... It was Sir Robert Watson-Watt who was instrumental in the development of RADAR at Bawdsey just before WW2 (not Robin), it's the River Deben (not Debden), and Grimston Hall is in Trimley St Martin (not the adjacent parish of Trimley St Mary). Which just makes me slightly question the veracity of the rest ... Read More:

.The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Chris Stewart

May 26, 2006
This is the 3rd book in the series from Chris Stewart about his life in Spain. Although it suffers from comparisons with the previous 2 books, taken in isolation it is still a great read. It is full of humour and is an entertaining read.

.Istanbul: Memories of a City
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Orhan Pamuk

April 06, 2006
An unusual and insightful guide to what remains for many a mysterious city. At the same time, a personal memoir that is wry, moving, and original. I feel as though I now have a good friend to whisper in my ear as I navigate the streets of Istanbul, no longer clueless.

.European Rail Timetable Independent Traveller's Edition. Summer 2008 (European Rail Timetable): Summer 2008 (European Rail Timetable)

just got bk after 5 wks interrailing and i used this quite alot. Its quite bulky and heavy and thought b4 travelling... do i really need it? shall i just use the internet or go to stations to ask about schedules? well, it comes ito its own when you arrive somewhere, dont like it and want to go somewhere else, gives your more freedom. you can usually find the train time you want from this 'bible'. not all routes are listed, but unless your travelling around tiny, small rural villages, this wont matter.

.A Year in Provence
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Peter Mayle

June 01, 2000
I've avoided this book until now because I remember the fuss about it at the time and experience has taught me that bestsellers are to be approached with caution, if not actually burnt. But my prejudice was entirely wrong - it's wonderful. Truly funny (I laughed aloud more than once) and written beautifully. The style Mayle uses - you'll recognise that amiable observer thing at once - is an oldy but a goody and he's much more elegant than Bill Bryson.

What's also interesting is the fact it's twenty years old now, which makes me wonder how much Provence has changed and whether the book is as much a slice of late eighties life, a historical piece, as the people in the book themselves.

The only thing I would have liked was more background ... Read More:

.The Rough Guide to the Italian Lakes - 1st Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Europe
by: Matthew Teller, Lucy Ratcliffe

March 30, 2006
We used this book last October when visiting Milan. We have also been to Verona in the past and this book is informative on both cities. Did not make it as far as the lakes so cannot speak about previous reviews. But fine on the cities.
