.Footprint South American Handbook 2006 (Footprint South American Handbook)
City Travel Guides > Books > Footprint Handbooks
by: Ben Box

October 10, 2005
This book totally fulfilled what I was expecting, meaning an infinity of detailed technical information about nearly all places of interest in the whole continent. Hence, if you are looking for a very complete list of hotels, restaurants, museums, travel agencies etc. this is the perfect book. However, this book can't possibly, and is not meant to provide any but the very basic background information about history, language, culture, politics etc. As long as you don't expect something like a classical travel guide and rather view this as a "manual" buy it but consider to complement it with additional background information where needed.

(Planeta Journal) The Handbook looks better than ever. This 15th edition of this guide provides reliable information about general tourism as well profiles of national parks and reserves in Mexico and Central America.

.Footprint Cambodia Handbook
City Travel Guides > Books > Footprint Handbooks
by: John Colet, Joshua Eliot, Abigail Vertigan

2003-02
Compared to the excellent Lonely Planet guide and even the rough guide, the Footprint book on Cambodia leaves much to be desired... it is full of errors of history and fact, and even gives wrong coordinates on its maps, especially its important map of Phnom Penh. If you buy one guidebook to Cambodia, let it be Lonely Planet, not this very disappointing Footprint guide, no matter how pretty the pictures are.

.Snowboarding the World (Footprint - Activity Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Footprint Handbooks
by: Matt Barr, Chris Moran, Ewan Wallace

October 01, 2006
This is the best snowboard guide book because it's the first edition--everything is up to date, which is super important in snowboard park reviews because things change so much year to year.
Even more importantly, the writers are snowboard industry insiders, so they definitely know where's cool to hang out after shredding. Lots of pro snowboarders comments and tons of cool background info.

.Tanzania (Footprint - Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Footprint Handbooks
by: Lizzie Williams

October 01, 2005
we traveled tanzania and zanzibar for a month, and got most of our info from this little book. it was (at that time- april 2006) up-to-date. easy to use, not too heavy in the backpack and informative enough to get us to the right guesthouse or restaurant without bothering the locals too much.
some city and town maps included only the most central parts- quite a problem when they do not include central bus or train stations....
all in all- a good book to have when you are in tanzania!

.Australia, 2nd (Footprint - Travel Guides)

We used this guide to plan our 3 week trip to Australia because we were so impressed with the South America edition which we had used previously. It was very helpful and accurate regarding various costs. It even gives planning tips depending on how much time you have. It is definitely a good alternative to the Lonely Planet which I sometimes find the info to be outdated.
