.Malay (Lonely Planet Phrasebook)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
by: Susan Keeney

March 01, 2008
Initially I was rather dubious about buying this book as I wanted to learn as much Malay as possible and it seemed so small! I additionally purchased a CD & book set, but it is the compact Lonely Planet book which has been getting the most use. It is very easy to pick up and read, and as well as teaching the language, it has interesting comments on culture and history. Thoroughly recommended, and compact enough to take everywhere with you!

.Korea (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
by: Rob Whyte

April 01, 2007
While covering the major sights that most tourists see, and having decent maps, far too much of this book is involved in endless listing of accomodation and restaurant options.Most sights are only covered in the most perfunctory way and very little attempt is made to convey the character of this exciting vibrant country. If you want a more detail and interesting read aimed at cheaper travel and seeing unusual sights then Moon Handbooks is a much better option.
Although usable this lacklustre book is typicall of the increasingly monotonous lonely planet brand.

First time I've bought a Lonely Planet Guide. It really shows you THE places to visit that you'd otherwise never find yourself.

.Belgium and Luxembourg (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
by: Gert Cole, Leanne Logan

June 01, 2007
As much as I am faithul to Lonely Planet guidebooks, I was shocked by reading their edition of Belgium & Luxembourg. Not only did we have to wait 2004 to have a LP guidebook for those 2 countries (which must be after about all other regions in the world, even Antarctica, Papua New Guinea and tiny tropical islands), but it's not even half satisfying.

They should have kept the previous title "Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp", as there is frankly not much about the rest of the country. For instance, Belgium has some 3000 castles, but for some reason only 2 (yes, a miserable 2 !) are listed in the Lonely Planet. Same sparsity for the abbeys. Then, the book is heavily centered on Brussels and Flanders, as if the author didn't know more ... Read More:

.Budapest (Lonely Planet City Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
by: Stephen Fallon

August 01, 2006
I am a big fan of the Lonely Planet range and almost always buy one of their books when going abroad. This is the first time I bought one of the "Best Of" guides, and has put me off buying another one!

I've just come back from a 4 night trip to Budapest with my girlfriend, and by the end of it were only using the book for the maps. Some of the bar/cafe recommendations were quite bizarre. One cafe (with a poor overpriced menu) said to look onto "one of Pest's most attractive little sqaures" this turned out to be a car park?! Many of the so called popular bars it mentioned were very quiet, although this may be more to do with the time of year.

Like the other reviewers, I feel this book glossed over a lot of information. Generally ... Read More:

.Signspotting: The World's Most Absurd Signs (Lonely Planet Pictorial)
City Travel Guides > Books > Lonely Planet
from: Lonely Planet Publications

October 01, 2005
This little book will provide hours of amusement! Signs from around the world which truly are absurd and ridiculous. Those with email will doubtless recognise a couple of these signs, including the classic "Go back towards your behind" airport sign and one of my personal faves being the sign in several different languages including the English translation "This sign is to stop tourists becoming lost"I cannot recommend this book enough - particularly good at Christmas, as this will be passed around all day and will provide a guranteed belly laugh for every person who flicks through it. Buy a copy for yourself and then copies for all your friends and family!
