.The Rough Guide to Argentina 3rd Edition

by: Andrew Benson, Rosalba O'Brien, Danny Aeberhard, Lucy Phillips

February 04, 2008
This was my first Rough Guide purchase as I have always been a fan of Lonely Planet. I bought the Argentina guide since it was published recently and used it specifically for a trip to Buenos Aires. I thought that the information was relatively good in terms of descriptions of neighborhoods in general, but not detailed enough for my tastes. Pricing is difficult, even for a very recent edition, due to the inflation in Argentina. However, I prefer Lonely Plant for giving more substantive historical backgrounds in their guides as well as telling it as it is in their hotel, restaurant, etc. reviews.

.The Rough Guide to Argentina 2 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

by: Danny Aeberhard

January 03, 2005
Three things:
1. I have not yet been to Argentina so I have not verified my conclusion.
2. I have not seen other Argentina guide books.
3. I have a shelf full of other guide books for other countries and this is quite simply the best and most comprehensive travel guide I have ever seen. In the future I will consider Rough Guides first above all others, then evaluate.

.The Rough Guide to Provence & the Cote d'Azur

by: Kate Baillie, Danny Aeberhard, Rachel Kaberry

July 01, 1999
I haven't had such a bad time with any guidebook before. The authors seem to really dislike most of the places in this area, so almost put me off visiting a really nice town, and their restaurant research seems confined to the few standard tourist offerings and then a listing of fancy expensive restaurants. It's not difficult to find a good meal in France for 35 EU, any hotel can recommend one, we wanted the book to help find which was the best of the cheaper places. I saw a ton of restaurants in Marseille with menus 20 EU and under, but no clue which of them were good. Really disappointing, useful for the usual city maps and all, but the opinions for things to visit, eat, etc. not helpful at all.
