.The Earth from the Air for Children: Children's Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Robert Burleigh, Hubert Compte

2002-08
This is a child's edition of an adult's book and I would love to
own the adult version myself having bought this for my eight year old. It is such a lovely book that I gave it as a birthday present to another child and ordered a further copy for my own boys.

It features wonderful photographs taken from a height in exotic (and ordinary) locations around the world. It also features a commentary directed to children alongside each photograph and a most delightful introduction by the eight and a half year old godson of the photographer.

It really feels like a trip around the world and will surely excite and impress any child with its wonderful images.

.Frommer's London with Kids (Frommers With Your Family Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Rhonda Carrier

November 16, 2007
My copy is BATTERED after a month in London with my wife and kids. So I'm buying a new one. Going on holiday with your children (mine are three and four) is great but can be a nightmare. A guide is essential, and this guide has done everything I asked of it. Cheap, good food, interesting little visits to places I'd never known existed (the Peter Pan statue for example), help with all the logistical pitfalls that exist when you're in a big city with little people... If you're coming to the UK with munchkins, you could do worse than consider this book. A gem.

.Snowboarding the World (Footprint Travel Guide) (Footprint Travel Guide Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Matt Barr

September 14, 2006
Great guide that's useful for practical information as well as fun just to read. The fun formatt with lost of great photos, to the point fact boxes and casual text style make it not just a guide book but also a great read. Excellent for researching new destinations you haven't been to yet. As a beginner I was very happy to see that all levels of snowboarders are catered for in the guide. Highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in snowboarding!

I have waited over four weeks for this book to come through, and what can i say, definately well worth the wait, it is quite simply a beautifully book, accompanied by maps and wonderfull engravings, they have managed to get the four volume hakluyt edition very very nicely into one volume, you can almost smell the sea salt

.Walking in Ireland (Lonely Planet Walking Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Sandra Bardwell, Helen Fairbairn, Gareth McCormack

May 01, 2003
This book is terrible, the directions are vague in the extreme with no distances or times mentioned between landmarks so when it says 'take right fork' you had better hope there is only 1... On the walk we tried there wasnt! Nice information about the flora and fauna which is great but not at the expense on directional detail.

I wonder if the authors of this book actually did the walk as some of the directions are also contradictory. In the end it turned an attempt at a walk into a massively frustrating random tramp including much backtracking and restarting before giving up and going home!

This book did manage to find itself one place... THE BIN!

.A Northern Coast to Coast Walk: From St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay (Skills for Success Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Terry Marsh

April 11, 2008
Just completed this superb 190mile walk (end July 06). This lets you see the very best of England Coast, Lakes, Mountains, Pennines and Moors. Great sites on the way including the grave of Henry Jenkins 169 years (touching the grave adds years to your life, someone on the way told us!) We did it in just under 9 days camping and 1 night in Youth Hostel Keld (superb hostel) Most would do it in 12-18 and soak in the scenary. I would suggest taking a new guide like this book, good cear directions and buy a strip map (Harvey) and take a compass for those enevitable slips off the path.
The guide, bad first...does not include accomodation lists or camp sites or pubs(which the Amazon write up says it does) It refers constantly to interesting things to see ... Read More:

.Au Revoir Angleterre: Making a Go of Moving Abroad
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Paul Jenner, Christine Smith

May 03, 2005
This book is perfect for anyone considering moving out of the UK to France, Spain or Italy (The Med Region!) - the authors are ex-pats that share their experiences of moving to both France and Spain - they also give you 'food for thought' in their efforts to enable the reader to fully explore all reasons for moving abroad but also make you consider if it is the right thing for you to do..... they have carefully outlined many 'dreams' that people commonly have for moving and have detailled the 'reality' in both positive and negative aspects - this can be very enlightening and will either make you want to move tomorrow or make you re-consider your plans......... a definate must read for those thinking of jumping ship!
