I've been consistently impressed by the Lonely Planet series. These books allow you to navigate a new country and culture like a pro, and find all the hidden spots that a tour guide probably wouldn't take you to. Worth every penny!

.God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference and Tips
by: Richard Grant

March 04, 2008
This is an interesting book. It's written well and certainly held my attention. I accept the author's claimed experience as true and have concluded that this is not a trip I'd care to make. Unlike Sebastian Junger, it never occurred to me to stop reading and go see for myself, just as it never occurred to me to put his book down and go fishing in a hurricane.

There are enough reviews here already to describe the book from cover to cover. I'll only add that I read books like this to see how things are elsewhere. In this case, I consider the author a credible, skilled narrator. Consequently, I can't blame him for its characters

.Sales and Service for the Wine Professional
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference and Tips
by: Brian K. Julyan

April 25, 2008
Up to date, with new areas expanded, color plates and maps. Excellent resource for anyone running a bar program with emphasis on wine.

Sometimes the British nomenclature is different than here.

.Turkey (Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference and Tips
by: Verity Campbell

April 01, 2007
We just used this guide -- thankfully supplemented by others -- to travel around western Turkey, including Izmir, Selcuk and Istanbul. We found it uniformly atrocious. Lonely Planet, I think, enjoys telling you *every* available restaurant, hotel, and cultural attraction, and aggressively refuses to filter. Consequently, we ended up staying at an abysmal hotel in Izmir and eating at any number of subpar restaurants. When we switched to the Time Out guide for Istanbul, we had nothing but success. I recommend Time Out Istanbul in the highest possible terms, and DISrecommend Lonely Planet Turkey with the same intensity.

.Rules, Britannia: An Insider's Guide to Life in the United Kingdom
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference and Tips
by: Toni Summers Hargis

March 21, 2006
This is an excellent "study guide" before going to the UK. I would definitely recommend it from cover to cover. The author is very thorough to the point of giving lists of American words vs. British words with their respective meanings.

.Chic Shopping Paris

It will be love at first sight! This lovely little book is a must if you are traveling from your armchair or in person. The photography is wonderful and you get the feel of how special shopping is in France. Don't leave this little diamond at home - read it while sipping a cup of coffee at your local Starbucks or on the plane before landing in France.
