I used this book before my trip to learn about the history, but I never used it once in South Africa. I found everyone else's Lonely Planet Guide much more helpful.

Although I own and sell this book*, I've only browsed it quickly, but since there were no reviews up thought I'd at least tell you this much: this is a beautiful book, chock full of really great photos and the info seems totally up to date. I got a bunch by accident and thus can offer such a great deal.
Enjoy mate!
*(see "More Buying Choices" i.e. the used/new section from nonAmazon sellers for "such a deal"--truly perfect condition for less)

.Insight Guide Trinidad & Tobago (Insight Guides Trinidad and Tobago)
City Travel Guides > Books > Insight Guide
by: Lesley Gordon

February 28, 2005
All in all I was disappointed with this book. I purchased it as a guide around T&T, but it's not very useful for that. It's a great source of information about Trinidad, as far as the history and culture, but don't waste your money if you're looking for a solid guidebook. The best book by far was the Rough Guide to T&T. I spent 9 days there and the Rough Guide was literally my Bible, I didn't go anywhere without it. If you're planning a trip and need a solid guide book for where to stay, where to go, and how to get around, don't purchase the Insight Guide. If you're into colorful pictures and historical information, this is the book for you.

.Insight Guide Burma/Myanmar (Insight Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Insight Guide
by: Francis Doral, Clare Griffiths

September 30, 2000
Insight Guides are generally worth buying for the pictures alone, and the Burma/Myanmar volume is no exception. Background sections are generally good, although there is not much on Buddhism or nat worship (these topics are filled out more in connection with individual sites, however). Covers the entire country (unlike the Odyssey guide). Although it is sometimes a little dry, this guide manages to convey virtually all of the facts you will need about each place you visit, along with the associated mythology, significance of the site, and so on.

I am planning a trip to Japan next spring; after examining many guides, I am glad I bought this one. It's current, beautifully organized and well illustrated with nice photography. I never bought Insight guides before, but this one will not be my last.

This book has a great description of what made and makes Colorado and an overview of what each area has to offer. However, the maps are not usable if you are driving since only the major roads are shown, and it does not seem to list as many activities in each area as other books in this series do.
