.Kiwi Tracks: New Zealand Journey
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Andrew Stevenson

October 01, 1999
A number of people have reviewed this book, commenting on the fact that it was more about the author's inner feelings than the actual country. Anyone going to another country must be affected by their travels, otherwise what is the point of going. I found this book very moving and interesting and am looking forward to seeing the places mentioned as soon as finances permit, and hopefully meeting as many assorted "oddbods" along the way as possible.

.Principles of Helicopter Flight
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: W. J. Wagtendonk

March 01, 2007
This book is the technical bible for aspiring helicopter pilots. It is essential reading for pilots studying for either a private or commercial helicopter pilot's license. It goes into more detail than any similar book, and the material is explained in a clear manner. Although the detail is more than would be required to pass a private helicopter license technical exam, the extra information presented is still useful and informative.

To sum up, if you want to to learn to fly a helicopter, read this book. The book won't just help you gain your license - one day it may save your life.

City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel

June 25, 2006
This is a magnificent collection of aerial photographs of British football grounds. The photography is brilliant and the photographs also include the surrounding area which makes them even more interesting. It also includes useful information about each ground, capacity, largest attendance etc. This book will appeal to football fans and also to anyone who appreciates superb aerial photography.

.Fodor's Around Paris with Kids (Fodor's Around Paris with Kids: 68 Great Things to Do Together)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Fodor Travel Publications

May 15, 2008
We recently went to Paris with our 2 children aged 4 and 7. We took this book with us (previous edition) and it was invaluable in finding places to go and things to do.We were only there for 5 days,but we could have spent a month or more and still not run out of ideas. Some of the prices turned out to be more than the book said, but presumably they will be more accurate in the new edition.Highly recommended.

.The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture (Travel Edition_
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Various

May 20, 2005
Such a sweet little book. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in architecture or travel and who doesn't have the 150, the table space or the carrying capability to get the big 17lbs big version.

Organised by territory and categorised by usage, this book collects the great contemporary architectural works into a tasty little package that can fit in your school bag if you are a student or sit on your coffee table if you are a posuer. ;) Its really well worth the money!

.The Stormrider Guide Europe - The Continent: North Sea Nations - France - Spain - Portugal - Italy - Morocco (Stormrider Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
from: Low Pressure Publishing

September 01, 2006
I've owned both the surfing guides to Europe (Stormrider and footprint guide) as well as the Stormrider World guides....The new Stormrider Guide Europe the continent raises the bar again - Stormrider is always the best looking of the surf guides with the most detailed info. The new European guide has new and proper usable maps and great info in a format that is much easier to use than the footprint guides. There's great chapters on the Med coasts, Germany, Denmark, Holland and Belgium which are not covered in my footprint guide. A must buy for anyone taking a surf trip in Europe. If you're heading outside Europe check out their World guides vol 1 and 2.

.The Cities Book (Lonely Planet Pictorial)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
from: Lonely Planet Publications

March 01, 2006
The Cities Book is a wonderfull brief look at 200 cities around the world. As I go on 5-6 city trips a year I have found it invaluable as a quick quide to where to visit next. But oh dear, there are so many mistakes here. Both descriptions of cities, misnamed photos, innacurate statistics. Did no one ever proof read this book. Please Lonely Planet, send me the next one and I'll do it for free!

.God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Richard Grant

March 04, 2008
From the blurb on the cover I expected something more than this, the authors experiences arent that amazing apart from his last one which drove him out of the Sierra altogether. He meets up with some interesting characters, relates a lot of second hand information about the drugs trade, but rarely gets into the heart of things, a few people trying to sell him drugs is about as about as deep as it gets.

Granted it would have been pretty hard to get into the scene much further without getting killed, but I kept expecting him to do so. (Go deeper, not get killed.) Recommended though overall, and did make me want to go see for myself.

.Shorter Walks in the Dolomites: 40 Selected Walks (Cicerone Mountain Walking)
City Travel Guides > Books > Speciality Travel
by: Gillian Price

March 01, 2007
I used this book on 2 trips, I organised to the Dolomites.I would highly recommend it, good selection of walks, maybe some a bit on the short side, and lots of other information, such as details of where various buses go. Like any guidebook it is out of date as soon as published, and of course you need to buy a map for the area, but I going back to the Dolomites in July, and will take this book along, together with its companion, "walking in the Dolomites", (many of which can be done in a day).
