.India (Country Guide)

by: Sarina Singh, Joe Bindloss, Rafael Wlodarski, Amy Karafin, Paul Harding, Lindsay Brown, Mark Elliott, Simon Richmond, Virginia Jealous, Tom Spurling

September 01, 2007
the Lonely Planet guide to India is THE guide. Going to India with the Lonely Planet changed my life. It also tells you to leave the guide behind and follow your intuition. I did. The result was my new book, on how to travel with your intuition and change your life. Travelling Magically: How to Turn Your Journey into a Life-Changing Experience. Quite a few stories about my time in India there - I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

.The Gap Year Book (General Reference)

by: Joe Bindloss, Charlotte Hindle, Andrew Dean Nystrom

July 01, 2005
Great fun to read, and studded with first-person "how I did it" notes from, I presume, Real Students. Once again, the English viewpoint, but still with lists, accounts and ideas that would be useful to U.S. students thinking of engineering an educational year on the lam from college.

.Lonely Planet Kuala Lumpur Melaka & Penang (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Regional Guide)

by: Joe Bindloss, Celeste Brash

June 15, 2008
I purchased this guide and the DK Eyewitness Malaysia/Singapore guide about a month before I went on my trip to KL. I just returned last night after spending a week there.

Let me just say that the LP guide is awesome! It is packed full of all the info you could possibly want to know and it also includes maps of the different areas of KL as well as transit maps. It describes in detail the different things to do in KL, where to stay(as well as phone numbers) and where to eat.

A lot of restaurants in KL don't give many details on their menus so you're not always sure what exactly you're eating, but this KL guide includes a food glossary so you can quickly look up most foods. I found it very helpful because I have issues ... Read More:

.Northeast India (Regional Guide)

by: Joe Bindloss

October 01, 2007
If you are going to just the areas included in this book, then it's a fine choice. Otherwise you might do better with a North India or an all India guidebook because there's not that much more detail here.

When I first saw this book advertised, I assumed that it specialized in what's normally considered the Northeast--Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura, and Mizoram. But these areas only comprise 50 out of the 376 pages! Most of the text is given over to introduction, Orissa, West Bengal, and Sikkim. An interesting chapter called "Excursions" briefly covers nearby places such as Varanasi, Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.

.Lonely Planet Kenya

by: Joe Bindloss, Tom Parkinson, Matt Fletcher

2003-04
Although I am an experienced traveller, I always ensure that I bring along a copy of the Lonely Planet guide. Not only does it give me a flavour for the country I am to visit, but the guides are packed full of excellent tips from those who know the area. A Lonely Planet guide pays for itself - it is one of the essentials in my travel kit.

.Lonely Planet Philippines (Philippines, 7th ed)

by: Joe Bindloss, Russ Kerr, Virginia Jealous, Caroline Liou, Mic Looby, Russell Kerr

2000-10
I read this book cover to cover anticipating my trip so far it has given me a good geographical and planning ideas I can not say how it would turn out once Iam there.It appears though the authors are mostly europeans and canadians intent on giving their point of view rather than an american point of view.

.The Career Break Book (General Reference)

by: Joe Bindloss, Andrew Dean Nystrom

December 01, 2004
This book could do with better organisation. Same topics should be grouped together instead of mentioning them at different chapters. I also expected to see more information and suggestions on where to go. "The Gap Year Book, 2Ed" also published by Lonely Planet is a much better written book. You may be wiser to wait for the second edition.
