The Patisseries of Paris: Chocolatiers, Tea Salons, Ice Cream Parlors, and more
With only nine days and a FULL program for my Paris vacation I won't have time for mistakes of 'so-so' restautants and patisseries. The book seems to be very thorough and well researched, many reviews agree with other 'foodies' opinions. I have 'tagged' the 'must visits' and 'possibles' and will give you my full review after I will have come back (April 2009).
Again, very well organized, well researched and easy to follow.

.Southeast Asia: On a Shoestring
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference and Tips
by: China Williams

March 01, 2008
This book is all good so far. Looking at different types of itineries across the whole of SE Asia is very helpful, and the prices seem pretty up to date at the mo (aug 08). Have had some good tips on getting the best for our money and the 'our picks' in each section have made the places full of like minded people! Top tip for such a thick book -when you get into a city/town/place cut out the pages with a penknife so you only have to take the relevant info & maps out and about with you. If you are travelling for a long while, the book (with remaining places you havent been to) can be passed on or thrown away.

.Frommer's New York City 2008 (Frommer's Complete)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference and Tips
by: Brian Silverman

September 04, 2007
My husband and I went to New York for Labor Day Weekend and took this book with us everywhere we went. It had helpful information about restaurants and handy subway maps.

Its only problem is its size. It's a little big. You couldn't put it in your pocket, but it fits all right into a large-ish purse.

.Fifty Places to Play Golf Before You Die: Golf Experts Share the World's Greatest Destinations
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference and Tips

October 01, 2005
This was supposed to be used a coffee table book, but there are barely any pictures to along with the lame descriptions. Some of the courses listed are super private...guess i will die unfulfilled.

.Queen of the Road: The True Tale of 47 States, 22,000 Miles, 200 Shoes, 2 Cats, 1 Poodle, a Husband, and a Bus with a Will of Its Own
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference and Tips

I read about this book on Jen Lancaster's site and picked it up! It was a fun read with lots of laugh out loud moments! Our bookclub has added it on as an 'honors' read for the month of October. (meaning in addition to the original pick!) So far I have heard great feed back about it.
The book even helped me to avoid a speeding ticket! I was driving along at a pretty good clip, not reading mind you, when I passed a Prevost bus conversion on the highway. I had to slow down to check it out and just then came around a corner to see a nice highway patrol with radar pointed right at me!
The book is a fun read and I highly recommend it!

.Marrying Anita: A Quest for Love in the New India
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference and Tips
by: Anita Jain

July 22, 2008
I bought this book after finding it through a link somewhere. I'm interested in reading about what singles do to find love (although this is not my situation), and I liked the idea of learning more about Indian culture. This book was a big disappointment, however: in the end, I thought it was trashy.
