.The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2008 (Unofficial Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tourist Destinations and Museums
by: Bob Sehlinger, Len Testa

August 27, 2007
This book has alot of content, but not the things that I needed. There are cartoons, and there are lots of personal annectodes submitted by readers. And it does not work well as a quick reference if you are trying to find the answers to some simple questions. You really have to want to read it to get anything out of it. At the last minute we were confused as to where our hotel shuttle would be leaving us, and how to proceed on our first morning, but the book was too big to stuff in our backpack on our way into the park. We ended up ripping apart the book to get the parts we thought we might use. Frankly I was much better versed, having read the Frommers guide which I had borrowed from the library earlier.

I did get a little ... Read More:

.Birnbaum's Walt Disney World 2008 (Birnbaum's Walt Disney World)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tourist Destinations and Museums
by: Birnbaum Travel Guides

September 18, 2007
We are planning a trip to Disney World with our children and grandchildren. I was told that this is the best book to read for planning such a trip. I agree. I bought it for us and also for our children. It is very complete and gives information for all levels of budget. I especially liked the "tips" included for each category. I would suggest that anyone planning such a trip get this book before doing anything else.

.The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World 2008 (Complete Guide to Walt Disney World)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tourist Destinations and Museums

December 15, 2007
When ever I go to WDW I have to buy at least 2-3 different "guidebooks" and stumbled on this book during my search and had not purchased in the past. I sometimes find that they put in way too much information and not enough photos, this book however has alot of colorful photos and I found that it had different information than other books that I have bought in the past and also for my current trip to WDW in December I also purchased the 2008 Birnbaum book (always have to have this one) and I currently have the 2007 unofficial guidebook which will do for this year as well and it is huge! I absolutely love The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World 2008!!

.Rick Steves' Best of Europe 2008 (Rick Steves)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tourist Destinations and Museums
by: Rick Steves

August 28, 2007
Rich Steves gives the best advice you can get on travel in Europe. He was right on the money with all that he suggested as far as rooms, price and what to see. We loved this book! We took it with us to Germany, Switzerland and Denmark. While doing a walking tour of the quaint little town of Bacharach, Germany, we saw a young girl walking along with the SAME BOOK! She had the same kind of praises we had. We plan to buy the next version for our next European trip.

.Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide to Venice (Eyewitness Travel Top 10)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tourist Destinations and Museums
by: DK Publishing

February 01, 2006
This is a very thorough guide for when you have only a day or two to visit. It actually has way more in it than we could possibly see or do.
Giving the top ten things to see is great for your first visit. It is also great for probably your second or third.

Very helpful, lots of pictures and maps.

.Rome: An Oxford Archaeological Guide (Oxford Archaeological Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tourist Destinations and Museums
by: Amanda Claridge

June 25, 1998
I took this book, along with a plethora of touristy guidebooks, and this one got read the most! We spent hours and hours in the Forum and the Palatine, and really delighted in uncovering the mysteries of so many building foundations. I left Rome wishing I had an archaeologist as a personal tour guide, but this book was an excellent substitution! It can be read at home, but I found infinitely more meaning when I sat at the site and read about where I was. Take this to Rome if you are interested in the ancients!

.Angkor: Cambodia's Wondrous Khmer Temples, Fifth Edition (Odyssey Illustrated Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Tourist Destinations and Museums
by: Dawn Rooney, Peter Danford

July 29, 2005
This is, without doubt, THE must-have guide to the Angkor area. Dawn Rooney writes with clarity, thoroughness and a balanced view of the monuments without talking down to (or over the head of) the reader. Some books on this area read like travel brochures, others like snobby scholarly textbooks. Ms. Rooney's book strikes the perfect balance between the two.

I'm a research-aholic about my travel, and collect guide books by the dozens. This is one of the best I've read anywhere, about any area.

This revised edition features tons of full-color photographs, good maps and many, many touring tips. I especially liked the fact that she talks about when to visit certain areas, where the best photography opportunities are, along with what makes each temple/monument ... Read More:

.Interpreting Our Heritage
City Travel Guides > Books > Tourist Destinations and Museums
by: Freeman Tilden

March 18, 2008
When one need to study and learn the basics, this is the original guidebook on guiding! The text is almost quaint (written in the 50's) as are the pictures, but there are still nuggets worth mining.

I found myself highlighting the "do"s and "don't"s that are now features in other fields such as marketing and customer service. There aren't many reference books on the subject of interpretation, so this is a good place to start.
