by: Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince

August 27, 2007
My husband and I just returned from Paris and used this travel guide for our trip. Overall the book was great, the restaurant and hotel sections were extremely helpful and very accurate with the reviews and recommendations. The site seeing section was excellent and she really hit on all the sites that truly are must see. We loved the days that were laid out with a schedule, although we had a lot more time to spend in Paris the schedule was very efficient in being able to see multiple sites that were moderately close to one another. She also recommended an art fair on Sundays that was truly amazing and a great recommendation. The only section we had some trouble with was the shopping section, several of the stores had moved locations or ... Read More:

Have to say that this book was one of the most used books on our last trip. We liked how it was written and the reviews seemed to be right on. Fine dining is paramount to us in our travels and this really helped find the spots to try. Highly recommend it.

.Tanzania (Country Guide)

This is one of the worst editions of Lonely Planet books I've ever read.

The book is full of factual errors which probably is a result of poor research. I doubt that the researcher actually have been at some of the places, and that he has copied information from the Internet instead.

I traveled this summer in Tanzania, and ran into errors in this guidebook time and again. The Rough Guide was far more accurate, even though that book is two years older.

I can accept that phone numbers are wrong, given the constantly expansion and changes in the Tanzanian mobile phone system, but addresses should be right most of the time.

Further more, I can accept that travel times can't be relied upon as accurate in Africa, ... Read More:

.Wilderness Medicine, Beyond First Aid, 5th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > General
by: William Forgey

The book was a bit too basic for my taste. I understand that the layperson doesn't have access to many things that a doctor does. But to me, the book was more about band-aids than it is about stitches. I think it could have been a little meatier.
Due to the limited availability of many medicines to the average Joe (or Jane), I suppose the writer couldn't put in a lot of information on how to treat as a doctor would. But I was actually hoping for more of that kind of information.

This is a delightful gem which captures the spiritual inspiration of the pilgrimage both historically and in the modern context. It is a marvelous book for those who intend their journey to be more than just a long cultural hike.

.Washington, D.C. (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > General
by: DK Publishing

March 20, 2006
I have used other "Eyewitness Travel Guides" before and I really like having all of the pictures, renderings, and map layouts. It makes it much easier to correlate what is in the book vs. what you are seeing in front of you. There were a couple of attractions (like the capitol or Washington monument) that were a bit tricky to get into or get tickets for, and it would have been nice if the book had covered those better.

The book was sufficient to be the only that I need, but still sufficiently small to stash in a bag and carry around with us.

.Kauai Trailblazer: Where to Hike, Snorkel, Bike, Paddle, Surf (

I'm a big fan of this series and have their Maui and Big Island guides on my shelf. I love Hawaii because it's a place where I can totally relax without having to think about my passport getting lost or communicating in another language. This guide for Kauai is so straighforward and not only contains descriptions of all the beaches and trails but talks about the island's history and that's what was so interesting.

When I arrive I always head for the beach first and starting in the Poipu area was my first choice. Shipwreck Beach was the perfect day one place to recuperate from jetlag.

For plenty of reliable advice and outsanding presentation and pictures, these trailblazers are right on.
